XML Editor

The XML Editor is a floating panel that allows you to easily access the XML file used to generate your chart. This exposes all the elements of your chart, so that you can customize as many details as possible.

The XML Editor allows you to easily locate a specific section of the XML file in Dreamweaver's Code view and review available options. You can use the XML Editor to Add, Delete, Edit, Cut, Copy and Paste XML nodes. As you select specific nodes in the XML Editor, you will notice those specific nodes also highlighted in the Code view of your Dreamweaver page.

The XML Architecture Reference page provides details on the types of editing that can be done to customize your chart.
