Data Explorer
Data Explorer is the built-in workspace for exploring your databases, files, and storage connections. Use it to browse structure, view and edit data, run SQL, and generate ER diagrams — all before or during stream work.
Two-pane layout
Data Explorer uses a split layout for side-by-side viewing. Both panes are fully independent — each can browse, query, and edit, like split editors in an IDE.
One pane is active at a time, indicated by a blue line above its tab bar. Navigator clicks open content in the active pane. Click inside either pane to switch.
Tabs
- Single-click an item in the navigator — opens a shared tab (italic title). The next single-click reuses this slot.
- Double-click an item — opens a dedicated tab (normal title) that stays until closed.
