The Breakpoints view gives you the tools to manage your code breakpoints. While you can set or disable breakpoints in the code editor, the Breakpoints view gives you more control over your breakpoints, allows you to easily find breakpoints in your code, and lets you choose how to group them in the display.
By default, the Breakpoints view is only included in the Debug perspective.
