Task guide
Navigate hierarchy and shared views
Distinguish containment from a named view and return to the parent level.
Before you start
- Prerequisites
- A diagram with a container, such as the worked demo.
- Permissions and plan
- Local editing is free. Server changes require write access.
Steps
Open the demo and select a container.
Open its deeper level. Without a custom view, this level follows its contained children.
Use Back or the breadcrumb to return to the previous level.
Choose Pages & views to create a named page or architecture view with its own scope and placement.
Use Open level in the inspector to inspect a C4 object’s detail level. Use the breadcrumb to return; export a backup before restructuring views.
Check your work
Expected outcomeYou can open and leave a level without changing containment.
Next steps
Try the workflow in the editor, then use the reference for control details and model syntax.
If a step does not work, keep an export of your model and follow the troubleshooting guide. Include the error message when contacting support, without sharing credentials or private architecture.
