The Document Viewer and Editor enables you to browser, view and edit individual documents stored in Couchbase Server buckets. To get to the Documents editor, click on the Documents button within the Data Buckets view. This will open a list of available documents. You are shown only a selection of the available documents, rather than all documents.
