The tab lists the discrepancies in the code detected by the TypeScript Language Service. The list is updated dynamically as you change your code.

By default, the list contains only the errors from the file in the active editor tab and the full path to this file is displayed at the top. To show the errors across the entire project, press the Show project errors toggle button icon ws ts tool window show project errors on the toolbar. Error messages are grouped by files in which they were detected.
