<h1 class="topictitle1">Editing XML schema properties</h1>
<div><p>After you create an XML schema, you can edit its various properties,
such as its namespace and prefix.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective,
but they will also work in many other perspectives.</p>
<p>To edit an XML schema's
properties follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Create a new XML schema or double-click an existing schema in the
Navigator view.</span> It will automatically open in the XML schema editor.
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Outline view, click <span class="uicontrol">Directives</span>.</span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Properties view, click the <span class="uicontrol">General</span> tab.</span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>You can change the <span class="uicontrol">Prefix</span> associated with
the current namespace.</span> Element and attribute names that are associated
with this namespace will be prefixed with this value.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>You can also edit the <span class="uicontrol">Target namespace</span> for
this schema.</span> A namespace is a URI that provides a unique name
to associate with all the elements and type definitions in a schema.
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click the <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> tab if you want
to provide any information about this XML schema.</span> The <span class="uicontrol">Documentation</span> page
is used for human readable material, such as a description.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click the <span class="uicontrol">Extensions</span> tab if you want to
add application information elements to your annotations of schema components.</span>
The <span class="uicontrol">Extensions</span> page allows you to specify the
schema and add XML content to your annotations.</li>
</ol>
