The Smart Compile Auto Correction feature suggests corrections when errors occur, allowing you to pick a solution to be applied to the code.
When an error occurs, if there is a symbol under the right side of the squiggle, resting your mouse over the squiggle or double-clicking the error message in the task list will turn the symbol into a smart tag panel. Clicking or resting your mouse pointer over the smart tag panel will open the Error Correction Options helper window, which displays a description of the error as well as a set of suggestions for fixing the error. Where appropriate, the helper window allows you to preview the fix in a separate window.
You can undo changes after they have been applied with an Undo operation (CTRL+Z).
To dismiss the Smart Compile Auto Correction helper window, click elsewhere in the editor.
