Identifying Reverse Dependencies

You are about to make a change to an image resource, but how can you be sure that the elements you think are using it are the only elements that use it. Well, you could open each design element and look at the properties of everything that could possibly reference an image resource, or you could use Teamstudio Design Manager.

In Edition 21, Design Manager includes a new feature called 'Select References' that does all that work for you. To use it, simply open you database in Design Manager, select the element in question:

Then right click on the element and choose 'Select References of Selected Element(s)' from the menu:

Design Manager then scans the database for any reference to the selected element and automatically selects them for you. Design Manager has just turned an extremely tedious job into 3 clicks of the mouse.
