Relax NG Outline View

The Relax NG Outline view presents a list with the patterns that appear in the diagram in both the Full Model View and Logical Model View cases. It allows a quick access to a component by name. By default it is displayed on screen. If you closed the Outline view you can reopen it from menu Window > Show View > Outline . You can switch between the Relax NG patterns version and the standard XML version of the view by pressing the Show components/Show XML structure button.
