Using tabs in the Node Editor, you can visualize multiple node graphs and edit them simultaneously, minimizing the need to re-graph. You can create new tabs, rename or duplicate them, tear any of them off into its own window, delete and restore them, and re-order them in the Node Editor.
Tab information is saved when you close the Node Editor, and saved with the scene.
To create a new tab, click + beside the right-most tab.
You can also select Tabs > Create Tab.
To delete a tab, right-click the tab and select Close Tab; or, middle-click the tab to delete it..
You can also select Tabs > Close Active Tab.
To restore the last tab that you deleted or closed, select Tabs > Restore last closed tab.
You can also restore a deleted or closed torn-off tab using the same menu item.
To rename a tab, double-click its name. Press Enter or click outside of the tab to commit your change. Press Esc to cancel.
You can also right-click the tab and select Rename Tab or select Tabs > Rename Active Tab.
To duplicate a tab, right-click the tab and select Duplicate Tab.
Left or middle mouse drag to re-order tabs.
Select Tabs > Close All Tabs to delete all tabs, including any torn-off tabs. An empty Node Editor remains with a new empty tab.
You can move your current tab into its own window by left- or middle-dragging it off the tab bar. A new Node Editor window is created with a single tab that contains the current tab contents.
You can rename, close or re-dock a torn off window. However, you cannot create additional tabs from this torn-off tab.
Press Esc to cancel the tear-off.
You can re-dock a torn-off tab by clicking the icon on the tab; or by selecting Tabs > Re-dock this tab.
