Hierarchy Tool Window

View | Tool Windows | Hierarchy
Alt+8

Use the Hierarchy tool window to analyze and navigate through hierarchies of types.

You can update the previously built hierarchy by clicking the Refresh icon (icons actions refresh svg) in the Hierarchy tool window. Alternatively, the results are updated when you run the next hierarchy command (unless you pinned (icons general pin tab svg) the tab with one of the previously built hierarchies).
