• Click in the upper left corner of an existing view or tab and drag it onto another one.
• Click the + icon to the right of the rightmost tab and click the icon for the editor that
you want to display.
NOTE
• You can also create tabs within tabs.
• If a view contains more tabs than can be displayed, arrow buttons are displayed to
navigate between the tabs.

• To move a view or tab, hold down Shift, click in its upper left corner, and drag it to

Depending on the drop position, it is added as a tab or as part of a split view.
Expanding and Resizing Editor Sections
Some editors, such as the Options Editor, contain expandable sections. These sections can
be resized or collapsed so that they only show their title bar. This helps you to save space and
focus on the edited parameters.
