\title Browsing Project Contents
You can organize \QC views in \l {Working with Sidebars}{sidebars} or as
\if defined(qtdesignstudio)
\l {Managing Workspaces}{workspaces},
\else
workspaces
\endif
depending on the \l{Selecting Modes}
{mode} you are working in. Only views that are relevant to a mode are
available in it.
\note Usually, \l{Searching with the Locator}{searching with the locator}
is the fastest way to find a particular project, file, class, or function,
or almost anything else in your project.
Manage projects and files in the following views:
\list
\li \l Projects shows a list of projects open in the current
session and the project files needed by the build system.
\li \l{File System} shows all files in the currently selected
directory.
\li \l{Open Documents} shows currently open files.
\li \l{Using Bookmarks}{Bookmarks} shows all bookmarks for the current
session.
\li \l{Working with Branches}{Git Branches} shows the local and remote
branches for the project in the Git version control system.
\li \l{Viewing Defined Types and Symbols}{Outline} shows an overview of
defined types and other symbols, as well as their properties and
hierarchy in a source file.
\endlist
\if defined(qtcreator)
The following views display additional information about C++ code:
\list
\li \l{Viewing the Class Hierarchy}{Class View} shows the class
hierarchy of the currently open projects.
\li \l{Running Autotests}{Tests} lists autotests and Qt Quick
tests in the project.
\li \l{Viewing Type Hierarchy}{Type Hierarchy} shows the base
classes of a class.
\li \l{Viewing Include Hierarchy}{Include Hierarchy} shows the
files that the current file includes and those that include
the current file.
\endlist
\else
For more information about views that are only available when editing QML
files in the \uicontrol Design mode, see \l{Design Views}.
\endif
The following sections describe the additional options in a particular view.
In some views, right-clicking opens a context menu that has functions
for managing the objects listed in the view.
\section1 Viewing Defined Types and Symbols
The \uicontrol Outline view shows an overview of defined types and other
symbols, as well as their properties and hierarchy in a source file.
You can move the code for types and symbols around in the source file
by dragging and dropping them in the outline.
\image qtcreator-outline-view.png "Outline view"
\list
\li To see a complete list of all bindings, select
\inlineimage icons/filtericon.png
(\uicontrol {Filter Tree}) > \uicontrol {Show All Bindings}.
\li To sort types or symbols alphabetically, select
\inlineimage icons/sort_alphabetically.png
(\uicontrol {Sort Alphabetically}).
\li To stop the synchronization with the type or symbol selected in the
editor, deselect \inlineimage icons/linkicon.png
(\uicontrol {Synchronize with Editor}).
\endlist
\section1 Viewing the Class Hierarchy
The \uicontrol {Class View} shows the class hierarchy of the currently
open projects.
\image qtcreator-class-view.png "Class View"
To organize the view by subprojects, click
\inlineimage icons/qtcreator-show-subprojects.png
(\uicontrol {Show Subprojects}).
To visit all parts of a namespace, double-click on the namespace item
multiple times.
\section1 Viewing Call Hierarchy
The \uicontrol {Call Hierarchy} view shows information about incoming and
outgoing function calls from a \l{Using Language Servers}{language server}.
Place the cursor on a function definition in the code editor to see lists
of functions that call it and the functions it calls. This works recursively,
so you can also see the caller of the caller. However, Clangd only lists
incoming calls.
Select the \inlineimage icons/languageclient.png
button on the \l{Managing Language Servers}{editor toolbar}, and then select
\uicontrol {Restart} to collect call hierarchy information for the function.
\image qtcreator-call-hierarchy-view.png {Call Hierarchy view}
\section1 Viewing Type Hierarchy
To view the base classes and derived classes of a class, right-click the
class in the code editor and select \uicontrol {Open Type Hierarchy} or
press \key {Ctrl+Shift+T}.
\image qtcreator-type-hierarchy-view.png "Type Hierarchy view"
To navigate in the type hierarchy, double-click a class or select it,
and then select \uicontrol {Open Type Hierarchy} in the context menu.
The view highlights the previous class.
The definition of the selected class opens in the code editor. You
can also select \uicontrol {Open in Editor} in the context menu to open
it.
\section1 Viewing Include Hierarchy
To view the files that the current file includes and those that include
the current file, right-click in the editor and select
\uicontrol {Open Include Hierarchy} or press \key {Ctrl+Shift+I}.
\image qtcreator-include-hierarchy-view.png "Include Hierarchy view"
To keep the view synchronized with the file currently open in the editor,
select \inlineimage icons/linkicon.png
(\uicontrol {Synchronize with Editor}).
