# Working with mulitple windows

PADS4 Scheduler supports working with multiple windows, allowing users to **compare schedules across different Destinations** side by side. This feature is useful for managing complex schedules across various screens or Viewer groups.

***

## Creating a New Window

To open an additional scheduling window:

1. Navigate to the **View** tab in the ribbon bar.
2. In the **Window** group, click **New Window**.

A new window will open within the scheduling area, initially displaying the **same Destination** as the original window.

To change the Destination:

* Use the **Select Destination** button in the ribbon bar, or
* Use the **Destinations tree view** in the left pane of the application.

Each window can now display the schedule of a different Destination for easy comparison.

***

## Creating a New Tab Group

Once you have more than one window open, you can position them **side by side** for comparison:

1. Go to the **View** tab.
2. In the **Window** group, click **New Tab Group**.
3. From the dropdown menu, select **New Vertical Tab Group**.

The scheduling windows will now appear next to each other in a split view.

***

## Switching Between Windows

When multiple windows are open, you can switch between them in two ways:

* Click the tab corresponding to the desired window.
* Or, from the **Window** group, click **Switch Windows** and select from the list of open windows.

The selected window becomes the active window in focus.

***

## Moving a Window Between Groups

To reposition a window from one tab group to another:

1. In the **Window** group, click **Move To**.
2. Choose **Move to Previous Tab Group** from the dropdown menu.

The currently active window will be moved to the specified tab group.

## Using the Context Menu

You can also right-click on a window tab to access a context menu with additional layout and window management options.
