Browse windows make it easy to move from one location of a symbol in a file to another location in another file. For instance, if you are in a source file examining the use of a symbol, you can immediately jump to the definition of that symbol. Or if you have changed the definition of a symbol, you can jump to every place in every file where the symbol is used.
Note The browse file is based on the state of the source files at the time of the last build. If you edit source files and then go to a definition or a reference, the location in the browse file may no longer be accurate. When you issue a query, if the browse file has not been built (or is not current), a dialog box is displayed with the option of building the browse file.
