    Studio windows

    Every tool, result and dashboard in Studio opens as a window on the canvas. Covers window types, controls, layout commands and what is saved.

    studiowindows

    Every tool, result and dashboard in Studio opens as a window on the canvas. A window is a draggable, resizable panel. You open it from the bottom toolbar or a sidebar, and it stays where you put it. Studio saves the open windows and their positions into the project automatically.

    Window types

    WindowOpened fromWhat it does
    Tool windowModel menu, burst! menu, or Start on the right sidebar's Next Step cardHolds one tool's form. It submits the job and shows the result when the job finishes
    Jobs DashboardJobs & Discovery → Jobs DashboardLists all of the project's jobs, with filters and bulk actions. See Job management
    Job DetailsView Details on a Jobs Dashboard rowOne job, in three tabs: Status & Actions, Technical Details and Results & Files
    batch plannerchat on the mode toggle (top right)A 480 × 640 language-model conversation that drafts batch plans. It does not run tools
    Parameter Sweep BatchQuick Actions → Parameter Sweep BatchRuns one tool across a sweep of parameter values
    Visual Workflow BuilderQuick Actions → Visual Workflow BuilderChains tools into a workflow template and saves it to your workflow list
    Reports and exportsJobs & Discovery menu: Reports Catalog, Report Composer, Report History, Exports History, Bundles Viewer and othersBuild reports and review past exports
    Workspace SettingsWorkspace → Workspace Settings…UI density, UI scale, theme, job window layout, grid snapping and drag smoothness

    The Model menu lists every catalogued tool, but only tools with a Studio form open a window.

    Opening View Details for a job that already has a Job Details window brings that window to the front instead of opening a second one.

    Run in the Visual Workflow Builder fails in the current build: the request it sends does not reach a workflow. Saving a template works.

    Window controls

    ControlAction
    Title bar dragMoves the window
    Edge or corner dragResizes the window, down to a minimum of 300 × 200 px
    MinimizeCollapses the window
    RefreshReloads the window's content
    SettingsOpens the window's own settings
    CloseCloses the window
    Arrow keys, with the drag handle focusedNudge the window 1 px per press, or 10 px with Shift

    A new window opens at 850 × 500 px unless the thing that opened it sets another size. Clicking a window brings it to the front.

    Windows have no maximize button and no keyboard shortcut to close them or to cycle between them.

    Arranging windows

    The Workspace menu in the bottom toolbar acts on every open window at once:

    CommandEffect
    Auto-arrange WindowsLays the windows out on a grid
    Cascade WindowsStaggers the windows diagonally
    Tile WindowsTiles the windows side by side, up to a maximum size
    Snap to GridMoves each window onto the canvas grid
    Reset Window SizesReturns every window to its default size
    Focus ModeMinimizes every window except the one on top
    Minimize All Windows / Restore All WindowsCollapses or restores every window
    Toggle GridShows or hides the canvas grid
    Close All WindowsCloses every window

    What is saved

    Studio saves the project on its own. The saved state holds:

    • the open windows and where they are
    • whether each sidebar is open
    • tool form data
    • the drug-development checklist

    When you reopen the project, it comes back as you left it. Separately, your browser remembers the last position of each window by its title, so a window you reopen lands where it last was.

    Performance

    No setting limits how many windows you can open. Each window that shows a 3D structure keeps its viewer alive while it is open, though, so the page slows as you add them. Minimize or close windows you are not reading.
