Explore item relationships in Trace View Canvas (Beta)

Use Trace View Canvas to review item relationships, identify coverage issues, and follow a relationship chain.

To explore item relationships:

  1. In the Explorer Tree, select the item you want to investigate, then select Trace view.

  6. Review the suspect-relationship and missing-coverage indicators on each card.

  7. Select a related item, then choose the action to continue expanding the trace. Upstream items expand the trace upstream; downstream items expand it downstream.
