## Navigating by address and tree path

Tools > Jump to virtual address opens a location by its virtual address.

Use **Ctrl+G** or select **Tools > Jump to virtual address**, enter the required address and confirm. Addresses refer to the currently analyzed build. File offsets and virtual addresses are different coordinate systems; keep that distinction when comparing a listing with bytes in the file.

### Sharing a tree location

In the project tree, use **Copy the name of section** or **Ctrl+C** to copy the selected object's path. Use **Jump to the section** or **G** to navigate with a copied path in the corresponding analysis.

You can also select an address in the listing before invoking **Ctrl+G**. Use viewing history to return after following a reference; mouse Back and Forward buttons retain the position within a procedure. A path or address shared with another analyst is meaningful only in the context of the same binary and compatible recovered structure.
