Manage multiple canvases with tabs

Overview

CAST Imaging displays results in tabs, so you can work with several canvases at the same time. Each tab keeps its own state - its scope, level and object selection - which makes tabs useful for comparison, for example opening the same scope at two different levels to compare the high-level structure with the detailed objects.

How do tabs open?

A new tab is opened when:

• you display the results of a global search (one tab per search display)
• you open an item in a new view from the contextual menu, e.g. using Open view > Expand objects
• you click the New view option to open a blank tab on the Overview panel

How do I add objects to an existing tab?

By default a search always opens its results in a new tab. To add further objects to a tab that is already open, use the Add objects action in that tab - see Add new search results to an existing tab.
