Select the current topic in a map

You can find out where an open topic is located in a map.

  • The map must be open in the DITA Map view.
This feature is useful when you have a topic open in your editor, and you want to find where (or if) it's located in a map.
Note: You can also use this feature to find images or resources that are referenced directly by the map. This is useful if you are using the DRM module or for images used in <keydef> maps.

To select the current topic in a map:

  • In the DITA toolbar, click the Select in map button. Select in Map button

    The topic must be open and selected (have focus) in the editor area for this to work.

  • From most views (Search Result, Dependencies, Documents, etc.), right-click the object and select Select in map.
The object is highlighted in the map. If necessary, the appropriate map sub-trees expand to show the location.
