Problems tool window

The Problems tool window displays problems that GoLand detects in your project using several tabs.

You can select any problem in the window and press F4 or double-click it to jump to the corresponding line in the editor.

When the design-time code inspection is enabled, this tab lists all code issues found in the current file. The list is updated as you switch between files in the editor.
