A view is similar to a pane. Views are based on a perspective and provide different ways to navigate and work with resources. All views share the following features:
Views can be moved from area to area with simple drag and drop to customize your perspective.
One or more views can be stacked on top of one another in a tabular form to reduce clutter and increase the area for competing views.
Views can be detached from a perspective and displayed in as a standalone window. When you maximize pages in the editor view or design canvas, all detached views will remain open and visible. However, detached views do not remain visible when you change perspectives.
Each view has associated menus and may have its own toolbar. The menu at the top left of the view's title bar provides common functions to manipulate the view, such as moving, resizing, and maximizing the view. The pull-down menu at the right end of the view's title bar contains functions that apply to all of the resources in a view, not to just one particular resource. These functions may include sorting or filtering. The menus and toolbar associated with a view only affect the resources in that view. Modifications made in a view are saved immediately.
