Quick Tips: Creating Multiple Windows of the Same Project
Are you tired of being limited to just one window when working on a project? Do you wish you had more flexibility and control over your workspace? Look no further! In this quick tip, presented by Shy Fox, we'll show you how to create multiple windows of the same project, and explore the benefits of this technique.
Why Create Multiple Windows?
The navigator tab is a useful tool, but sometimes it's not what you need. Having multiple windows of the same project can be a game-changer, providing an additional preview of your work alongside the navigator tab. This can be particularly helpful when working on small, detailed projects, or when you need to compare different versions of your project.
Creating a New Window in Canvas
To create a new window in Canvas, simply go to Window > New Window. Once created, you can drag and pull the new window to position it wherever you desire - to the side, top, or any other location on your screen. You can even move it off your monitor onto a different one, making it easy to transfer windows between multiple monitors.
Floating Window Feature
Another convenient feature is the floating window option. On a PC, you can float a window and move it around, which can be very useful. However, note that the floating window feature does not work on iPads.
Monitor Management Features
One of the most powerful benefits of creating multiple windows is the ability to create a duplicate monitor. This allows you to work on multiple versions of your project simultaneously, with each monitor operating independently. Changes made to one monitor do not affect the other, so you can perform actions on one monitor without affecting the other.
For example, you can have a small version of your project open on one monitor while working zoomed in on another monitor. This feature is designed to improve your workflow and productivity, giving you more flexibility and control over your workspace.
