Schema Tables' Highlighting
When maintaining large logical units with many tables, it becomes difficult to understand and manage their complex schemas. The Tables' Highlighting feature enables to highlight some of the tables and bring them into focus.

Highlighting connected tables helps you to better understand the connection and relations between tables, especially in large schemas, by highlighting related tables.

First, select a table with connections to other tables that you wish to see.

Click on the schema's top bar highlighting bulb action icon (
). Open the table menu (ellipsis, 3 dot menu) and choose Highlight by relation
Select one of the following highlighting option types:
- Only connected tables, All connected tables - predecessors and successors
- Only predecessors
- Only successors
Once chosen, all other tables become blurred. Additionally, the highlighting bulb icon in the schema' top bar turns orange, indicating that the highlighting feature is currently turned-on.
Tip: The activated highlighting type can be quickly revealed as a tooltip when hovering the mouse over the highlighting bulb icon. (You can also click on the down arrow symbol, located next to it, in the schema's top bar, and look for the 'v' sign).
Note: When the Tables' Highlighting feature is turned-on, other tables are still available and active.
