In this step you will learn how to navigate in a sequence.

A detailed hierarchical view of the sequence you are editing in the Sequence Builder is provided in the Sequence Hierarchy Browser. It shows the internal structure of your control flow. To display the Sequence Hierarchy Browser, click the Sequence Hierarchy page.

To focus on the essential parts of the sequence, you can reduce its complexity by collapsing subordinated elements. To recover the detailed view, you can expand it again.

1. In the Sequence Hierarchy Browser, collapse the node of the element you want to get an abstract view of, for example, the IfThenElse block.

   The collapsed element is presented with a icon in the Sequence Builder.
