Advantages of Using the Outline View

The Outline view supports you by providing the following advantages:

• Particularly for development objects with a more complex structure, the outline provides a good overview of the internal object structure. Here, you can also avail of the filter functions with which you can display or hide certain elements in order to achieve a better overview.
• The outline is synchronized with the contents of the source editor. Therefore, when you select an element in the Outline view, you can navigate quickly to the corresponding position in the ABAP source code.
  Note

  The outline is synchronized with the contents of the editor, even if the latter are not yet saved. If you add a new attribute in the class editor, for example, it is immediately shown in the Outline view (without the editor contents having been saved beforehand).
