-If a feature should be reachable from CECIL and may not be used it must be made visible because otherwise it will be removed by the dead code optimizer. To do this you have to make the class visible. In addition it is also possible to rename a class or a feature. In most cases we make a class completely visible and do not need renaming.
+If a feature needs to be reachable from CECIL, but is not called anywhere in the Eiffel code, then it must be made ''visible'', because otherwise it will be removed by the dead code optimizer. This is done by using the '''Visible Classes''' option. In addition it is also possible (but rarely necessary) to rename a class or a feature. In most cases it suffices to make a class completely visible and renaming is unnecessary.

-To make a class visible, just enter the class name and press ''Add class''. Optionally it is possible to specify a different name under which it is accessible. After a class has been added, it is possible to restrict the access to certain features only. To do this, enter the name of the feature (and optionally a renamed name), select the class it belongs to and click on ''Add feature''.
