# Viewing dependents

Before you change an entity, check what depends on that entity so that you do not introduce unintended consequences.

## Steps

1. Select the Trust Framework entity.

2. Click the hamburger menu to the right of the entity name.

3. Click View Dependents.

   The following image shows the `scope` attribute.

   If the entity has dependents, they are displayed in a new window. For example, the following image shows the dependents for `scope`.
