  3. Manage Uploaded FilesWhile you make changes to your code files, it's likely that you would like to sync the latest file changes to the "Code Context". You can do this by clicking on the "Sync" icon

    After uploading and processing your code files, you can use other CodeVista features like code chatting, command prompting, or predefined workflows with the context from the uploaded code files.

2. Use code context Inline​

After CodeVista finished indexing the code context, the code entities within the uploaded files will be available for the Action Commands

Below are some supported code entities:

@file:fileName

@function:functionName

@class:className

You can chain an Action Command to the indexed entities:

For example:**Explain the purpose of** @function:get_image_download_link
