Refactoring with preview
</h1>
<ol>
<li>
Activate a refactoring command. For example, rename a type by selecting it in the Outline view and choosing
<strong>Refactor</strong> &gt; <strong>Rename</strong> from its pop-up menu.
</li>
<li>
The Refactoring Parameters page prompts you for information necessary for the action. For example, the Rename Type Refactoring dialog
asks you for the new name for the selected type.
</li>
<li> Provide the necessary data on the parameters page, and then click <strong>Preview</strong>.
</li>
<li>
If problems are anticipated, then the problems page comes to the front to display them.
<ul>
<li> If a fatal problem was anticipated, then only the <strong>Back</strong>
and <strong>Cancel</strong> buttons are enabled, and you are prevented
from carrying out the refactoring. If the problems are related to data
provided on the parameters page, click <strong>Back</strong> and attempt
to remedy the problem. Otherwise, click <strong>Cancel</strong> to close
the dialog. </li>
<li> If other kinds of problems were anticipated, you can click <strong>Continue</strong>
to acknowledge the problems and move on to the preview page. </li>
</ul>
The Refactoring Preview page opens.
</li>
<li> Click <strong>OK</strong> to execute the refactoring and close the dialog.
</li>
</ol>
