Workspace Startup (Best Order)
- Use File > Open Folder for mixed XML/JSON packs so paths stay grouped.
- Use File > Open File for one-off checks without loading full folders.
- Paste directly into a blank editor to auto-create a correctly typed file.
- Rename from tree/tab context menu to keep paths clean before export.
Validation Workflow
- Run Validate after each structural edit, not only at the end.
- Use Problems panel entries to verify parser error location and type.
- Use Format only when file is valid XML/JSON; invalid files cannot be prettified safely.
- Download after status is clean to avoid exporting stale unsaved content.

Common Error Patterns
- XML: mismatched closing tags or duplicate root elements.
- JSON: trailing commas and missing double quotes on property names.
- Wrong file extension: use Move/Rename Path to align extension with language.
- Fast reset: File > Restore Workspace Draft if a session is lost.
Tree + Tabs Behavior
Click a tab to open that exact file. Double-click tree files/folders or tabs to rename. Right-click tabs for close/close others/close all.
Fullscreen Note
Command palette and context menus now follow fullscreen mode and stay available while editing.
