Panes and windows
Open Beside shows a second pane next to the page you are reading, and each pane keeps its own page and history. File ▸ New Window opens another window on the same workspace, with its own pages and panes.

- each pane has its own; they act on the pane you are using
Open a note beside the page
Open Beside puts a second pane to the right of the first. It opens the note you have selected, or the page you are on when no note is selected. When a second pane is already open, the palette and a row's menu put the note into that pane instead, and View ▸ Open Beside closes it. The page menu has the same command, and a row's right-click menu has Open Beside or Open in Other Pane.
Work in two panes
Click a pane to make it the one you are using. A thin accent line marks the pane in use. Typing, selecting, and the Back, Forward and Open Beside commands act on that pane. Each pane has its own selection, its own collapsed notes and its own history, so going back in one pane leaves the other where it is.
Close the second pane
Choose View ▸ Close Beside, or Close Beside Pane in the page menu. The second pane goes and the first pane fills the window. While a second pane is open the View menu item reads Close Beside.
Open another window
File ▸ New Window, or ⌥⌘N, opens another window on the same workspace. Both windows show the same notes, and a change in one appears in the other. Each window has its own pages, history and panes. Superliner remembers each workspace's window, sidebar, open pages, history and side-by-side pane between launches.
