Explore and navigate exception stack traces

Last modified: 11 February 2024

When you receive an external stack trace (for example, from a bug report), you can open it in the dedicated Stacktrace window and then navigate to code where the corresponding exception originated. In this window, you can click files, types, and methods to display them in the editor.

Each stack trace is opened in a new tab, which stays available until you close it or close the solution. If you close the Stacktrace window, you can reopen it by choosing View | Tool Windows | Stacktrace from the menu.
