Opening site pages in a particular view

You can use a variety of methods to open pages from your site and specify whether they display in the Layout Editor or a different tab in the document window.

You can set an application preference to automatically open all pages in another tab. (See Setting preferences for opening pages.)

To open a page from the site in the Layout Editor:

Do one of the following:

• Double-click the page in the site window, navigation view, or links view.
• Select the page in the site window and click the Open button  on the toolbar.
• Select the page in the site window and choose Site > Explorer > Launch File (Windows) or Site > Finder > Launch File (Mac OS).

To open a page in the document window with a particular tab showing:

1. Select the file in the site window, navigation view, or links view.
2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the file to display its context menu.
3. Choose an item from the Open in Mode submenu. The submenu lists all the tabs in the document window.
