For most items, you can open every partition in which the item appears. Use the partitions to show or hide connections.
The following partitions are available for a schematic item:

You can set options to enable or disable selection and preselection highlighting and lowlighting for Schematic Figures.
Navigating a Schematic Figure
Continuation Links are graphic items that link to a corresponding item on the same figure or a different figure. Continuation Links are selectable. They are listed in the sBOM pane as children of the connection/highway that they are attached to. If you hide one instance of the Continuation Link, all instances are hidden.
Continuation Links can be selected alone or together with a connection or highway.
