Tabs

Displays the currently opened topics in the Editor as file tabs. You can have multiple topics opened at the same time, which are displayed in their respective tabs in the tab bar. By default, you can view the file titles in the tabs. As you hover over a file, you can view the file title and the file path as a tooltip.

NOTE
As an administrator, you can also choose to view the list of files by filenames in the tabs. Select the Filename option in the Editor files display configuration section under User preferences.

Selecting the file tab opens a context menu featuring Save as new version, Copy, Locate in, Add to, Properties, Split, Download as PDF, and Close options.
