The previous browser was called Nautilus, maybe you can see some outdated reference to Nautilus in some places.

!!! Showing Hierarchies

Nautilus defaults to a simple 'Flat' display of the list of classes that are in the currently selected package (far left). If you want to see the hierarchy of a particular class, first select it and then press (toggle) the 'Flat' button, to show show its 'Hierarchy'. Pressing this button again will toggle back to the 'Flat' model.

!!! Browser History

The browser records the history of methods and classes you have visited similar to a Web Browser. The dropdown list in the middle right of the panes (above the lower text pane) shows this history, and clicking on one of its items will navigate to that item. This is convenient if you have clicked on a different package, or navigated to superclass and want to return back to where you were.

In the same area, there is the versions button. You can easily revert any code changes to any time in the past.

!!! Customising

The system browser can also be configured with a different title as well as optional plugins. These are all available in the window dropdown menu in the top right of the title bar (normally a small triangle).
