Relax NG Outline View

The Outline view for Relax NG schemas presents a list with the patterns that appear in the diagram in both the Full Model View and Logical Model View cases and it allows for quick access to a component by name. By default, it is displayed on the left side of the editor. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the Window ⇒ Show View menu.
