When there are changes to an application interface or context, a content author may need to locate all documents with the changed context so the content can be updated. The Developer has a number of tools that allow you to locate documents that are impacted by application changes using a context search. Context can be searched from the Outline/Library or the Topic Editor.

The Find Context functionality consists of two types of searches:

• Capture and set Context: Search for context directly from a target application screen by recording the screen and searching for documents with the same context.
   
• Set Context by selected Document: Search for documents that match the context of the selected document.

You can access the Find Context functionality from the Standard toolbar, Edit menu or the Context Search pane.

The Context pane provides the tools to create a new search, refresh an existing search, view the context of a document, select the scope (by folder or individual document) of the search, print/save search results, or clear search results.

 Find Context: Use to select the View Context, Capture and set Context or Set Context from selected Document tools for initiating a search.

Find in: Use to select the Library or any open tab to set the scope when searching for context from the Topic Editor.

 Context: State of the icon when you are on a document that does not use context such as a web page.

 Context: State of the icon when you first context has never been captured for a document.
