A web view is an interactive rendition of a Simulink^® model that you can view in a web browser. You can navigate a web view hierarchically or use the search button to view specific subsystems and see properties of blocks and signals.

The search highlights the returned elements of the model in yellow. The search results include the name and parent for each returned element. If you select a search result, the web view adds a blue highlight within the yellow highlight.
