### 8.4. Using the "Document Set" tool

This tool is displayed after you select a file specifying a document set using File → Document Set → Open Document Set.

You may need to enable the File → Document Set submenu by checking "Enable the 'File|Document Set' Submenu" in Options → Preferences, General|Features section.

Toolbar buttons:

Edit document set specification

  Edit in XXE the XML document used to specify this document set. This XML document is typically a DITA map or a DocBook master document.

  This button is disabled when the document set is specified by a glob pattern (e.g. "`file:/home/john/site/*.html`").

Document set options

  Display a dialog box allowing to change the options, if any, of this document set.

  Changing the options of a document set automatically brings this document set up-to-date.

  This button is disabled for all kinds of document set, except when the document set is specified by a DITA map. In such case, this button displays a dialog box allowing to associate a conditional processing profile (a `.ditaval` file) and a target medium (print or screen) to the underlying DITA map. These settings also have a direct effect on the list of member documents and on the visual representation of the document set[18].

Update document set

  Update the list of member documents belonging to this document set and at the same time rebuild its visual representation.

  This button must be clicked after the XML document used to specify this document set (typically a DITA map or a DocBook master document) has been modified.

  There is no need to click this button after modifying member documents in XXE. When a member document is modified and the changes are saved to disk, the visual representation of the document set is automatically updated.

Below the toolbar is found an interactive pane containing a visual representation of the document set:

- Press Up to select the preceding element. Press Down to select the following element.

- Press Enter to open in XXE the member document corresponding to selected element.

- Click on an element to select it.

- Double-click on an element to open in XXE the member document corresponding to this element.

- Right-click on an element to first select it and then display the following popup menu:

  Open

    Open in XXE the member document corresponding to selected element.

  Open Document in Read-only Mode

    Same as above, but the member document is opened in read-only mode.

  Open Containing Folder

    Open the folder containing the member document corresponding to selected element. This menu item displays the "Browse Files" tool.

- Dragging the selected element will drag the corresponding member document inside or outside XXE.

  Note that when a document is dragged and dropped onto XXE, this document is always opened or reopened in XXE. This is not the case of all the "open document" facilities described above. Such facilities have been designed for navigation and thus, will not reopen a document if it's already opened in XXE. Instead, the opened document will automatically scroll to display the element of interest.

Notice that the tabs of documents belonging to the same document set are all given the same background color as the corresponding "Document Set" tool.
