# Breadcrumbs

When a view shows only one section of a document, such as a focused outline, a breadcrumb bar appears above the view.

The breadcrumb bar shows each ancestor of the note’s presented in the view. In the example above, the notes are contained in the agent named “By Date Of Birth”, and this agent in turn is contained in “Boston 1830-1865”.

Click on any item in the breadcrumb bar to change the focus from the current container to one of its ancestors. For example, click on “Boston 1830-1865” to see both the agent “By Date of Birth” and any other notes contained inside “Boston 1830-1865.”
