Workspace Layout

Panes, tabs and docks — how the editor screen is put together and how to rearrange it.

Opening, closing, reordering and moving tabs.

The centre workspace is a VS Code-style tab strip. Most tabs are singletons: asking for Units, Binder, Output, Rundown or a Logic section focuses the existing tab instead of opening a second one. Scenes are one tab per layer; files are one tab per file.

Closing the active tab activates its neighbour. A tab whose target has been deleted is drawn struck through in the on-air red and its tooltip reads “Deleted: …”.
