Documents view

The Documents view displays all open documents.

Examples of documents include text-based source files, graphical form design files, application flow diagrams, report design documents, and more. When you open a document, it opens in the Documents view; it is not in a view that you can re-locate or undock. The Documents view can also be referred to as the Document workspace or central workspace.

View two documents simultaneously

By default, when you open two or more documents, one document has the focus and sits on top of the others. You switch between documents by clicking the appropriate tab.

If you wish to view two documents side-by-side, right-click on the tab and select Move document to other view. You can repeat this process to relocate additional documents to the new location.

To move the document back to its original location, right-click on the tab and (once again) select Move document to other view. The document will move back to its original location. When you have done this to all documents that you may have moved to the second location, you again are presented with the default, where a single document has the focus and sits on top.

Close a document

Close a document in the Documents view using the close icon (a red X) on the document tab. Alternatively, close a document by clicking the mouse wheel on the document tab.
