# Jumping to errors

The CDT will parse the output from the make and compiler/linker. If the CDT can determine an error or a warning, the line is highlighted in the Console view and added to the Problems view as a Problem Marker decorated with error or warning icon. Informational messages are marked with Info icon.

To jump to the source of an error do one of the following:

- In the Console view, double-click the highlighted line.

- In the Problems view, double-click the row of the specific error in the table.

- If in the Problems view the error is identified as External Location in Location column, use mouse right-click on it, then click on Open external location item in the context menu.

If CDT can determine file and error line and the file exists - the file opens in the C/C++ editor and the cursor moves to the line with the error.

To jump to errors sequentially:

- In Editor use Next Annotation or Previous Annotation icons on the toolbar.
- In Console view use Next Error or Previous Error buttons.
