Home > Online Product Documentation > Table of Contents > Updating XML Documents Updating XML DocumentsStylus Studio provides Text, Tree, and Grid views for updating any XML document you open. The view you choose for editing depends on how structured your data is and your personal preferences. This section describes how to choose an XML document view to work with and other features related to editing XML.
This section discusses the following topics: Choosing a ViewYou can add and modify the data and structure of an XML document in any view. When you switch to a different view, any changes you made appear in the new view. To move from view to view, click the Text, Tree, or Grid tab at the bottom of the document you are working with. To add contents to an empty XML document, consider the structure of the data you plan to add. The Grid view is most useful for creating very structured data that includes multiple instances of the same elements. The Tree view makes it easy to add many different elements. In order to use it, however, the XML must be well-formed. Each view of the document allows you to query the contents of the document. See Querying XML Documents Using XPath. For More InformationTo learn more about a specific XML view, see one of the following sections: Saving Your Work
The procedure for saving your work is the same regardless of which view you use to edit XML - make sure your work is in the active window, and then select

Ensuring Well-FormednessTo ensure that your XML document is well formed, click the Tree tab at the bottom of the XML editor window.If the document is well formed, Stylus Studio displays the tree representation. If the document is not well formed, Stylus Studio displays a message that indicates the reason the document is not well formed and the location of the error or omission. Correct the document, and click the Tree tab. If you are already viewing the Tree representation of your document, the document is well formed. When you edit the Tree view, the XML that Stylus Studio generates is always well formed. Reverting to Saved Version
