Source Editor: Error Stripe

See Also

The error stripe in the right side of the Source Editor is a status and navigation tool that provides the following functions:

The error stripe contains a global status marker at the top and a combination of other markers that indicate places of interest in the file. The positions of these other markers in the error stripe is in proportion to their positions in the file. Therefore, all markers for the file are always visible. You can jump to a line of interest by clicking its marker.

The following table displays all of the markers that can appear in the error stripe and explains the meaning of each:
