One of the great strengths of Altium Designer is how easily you can move between the various elements of your design. For example, a click in the Projects panel opens a schematic sheet, another click opens the PCB and another click opens the OutputJob file showing all the outputs you need to generate from the completed board.
Design is much more than just having easy access to design files though. As the designer, you need design-oriented tools that help you efficiently complete the many design tasks needed to get your product made. A key element to working efficiently is being able to move fluidly back and forth between the schematic and the board layout, as you perform the various design tasks.
Perhaps you're preparing for placement, clustering related components around the periphery of the board as you examine your layout options. Or perhaps you're checking the connectivity, locating critical nets and examining where they have been routed.
For tasks such as these, you need to find objects in the target document based on objects you can see in the source document.
