# Solution Explorer Contextual List

## Overview

The Solution Explorer Contextual List in Servoy is a section at the bottom of the Solution Explorer window that displays details of items selected in the tree view. It is primarily used to view lists of code resources like methods, functions, variables, and relations, as well as media. Users can interact with the items in the contextual list to access additional information and move code into an open script editor.
