Editing an XML Layer File

See Also

When editing an XML layer file, you can use code completion (Ctr-Space) in the Source Editor. Alternatively, you can use nodes in a tree view—each node represents an item that a module makes available to the system.

To edit an XML layer file:

  1. In the Projects window, expand the Important Files node.
  2. Expand the XML Layer node. After a moment, two subnodes appear:
  3. Expand a subnode to explore the folders and files within it. When you right-click a subnode, you can, for example, rename it. You can also use actions such as "Cut", "Copy", and "Paste". In addition, you can drag a subnode and drop it elsewhere, to reorder a folder or a file. All of these actions will result in XML entries being added to your module project's layer file.
