Emacs 26.x: org mode: C-c C-r

Emacs 26.x: org mode: C-c C-r

[J191]

Having a hard time figuring out what C-c C-r does `context reveal`

Manual says "With a prefix argument show, on each level, all sibling headings. With a double prefix argument, also show the entire subtree of the parent."

 - When all the Headings are collapsed and I do C-c C-r
   - nothing happens
 - If I try it on a subheading when it is collapsed
   - nothing happens
 - If I try C-u 2 C-c C-r on a second level heading
   - I hope to see all Heading 2 siblings with the current heading fully expanded ?

Is there a setting or something to make this thing work ?
Or does this work only in `agenda views` or `sparse trees` only ?

I don't know about agenda views, and I seldom use sparse trees.  But
I often use C-c C-j (org-goto), and I find C-c C-r extremely useful
after that.

C-c C-j is great. 
But still cant figure out how C-c C-r works after that ?

If C-c C-j jumps to some headline, it doesn't show other headlines at
the same level.  C-c C-r reveals them.

Google groups is not very helpful for emacs. Stumbled upon here when my search filter bubble got me here. Looking at other posts, there are lot of questions, but no views. Better ask questions elsewhere.

I have no idea how to delete my posts here. 
If there is an admin or something here, just delete my posts.

Your posts can not be deleted because this is a mailing list and not a
forum.  They have been distributed to the subscribers.

Google groups is not helpful for anything because there is no way to
subscribe.  I suspect it might even not be mailing lists.

Google groups is just another interface to the
same old traffic. So gnu.emacs.help is a Usenet
newsgroup, a Gmane group (gmane.emacs.help),
a mailing list (help-gnu-emacs [1]),
a Google group, and possibly even more.

That said, the interfaces don't offer the same
user experience and they don't come with the
same possibilities. 

[1] "This list is connected to the
     gnu.emacs.help newsgroup. Note that the
     connection between the two can be
     unreliable."

"Double prefix argument" most probably means "C-u C-u", not "C-u 2".
