| <h1>Linking the Project Explorer view to the active editor</h1> |
| <p>When you have multiple files open for editing, you can configure one of the navigation views to automatically |
| bring an open file to the foreground (make its editor session the active editor) every time you select that open file |
| in one of the navigation views. There are two ways to set this.</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>From the Project Explorer menu, select <b>Link With Editor.</b></li> |
| <li>Click on the Link With Editor icon <img src="../images/synced.svg" alt="Link with editor icon"> on one of the |
| navigation bars.</li> |
