Access map options in the Outline pane

When you edit a map, you can see the changes that you make to the structure in the Outline panel. Looking at the structure not only shows you the hierarchical dependencies between elements, but gives you access to a right-click menu of options.

When you go to the left side panel and open the Outline pane, you can right-click an element to see more options.

To access right-click options in the Outline pane:

  1. Open a map for editing.
  2. In the editor, the Outline panel is shown by default.
    • If you don't see it, either click the Show arrow or the Outline option.
  3. In Structure, right-click an element and choose one of the following options:

    The right-click menu changes depending on the element you have selected in the Outline pane.
