I didn't know that you could open the same file in a different Windows. However, after testing this method it doesn't look to me as if this is really something that would work for me here. The problem that I thought would exist (changing the file in one window and saving it, what happens in the other window? Will a change that is saved in the other window overwrite the change in the first window?) was actually not a problem as both windows are updated live. The main problems I see with this setup: 1) The layout is not permanent because the separate windows and their size and arrangement are not saved when I close the file (maybe it is and I'm not doing it right as I didn't even know the feature existed) 2) If you resize and move windows you need yet another full screen window to edit large (full size; = across the entire screen width) sheets. In my example image (that I modeled after a concrete usecase in one of my files) there is only one file window and 'Group A' itself is independent from the sheets and acts only as collocation or compilation of sheets. The group could be removed without making any change to any sheet. The group would may act like opening the file in multiple windows, but wouldn't have it's downsides. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
