Window tabs: to switch documents or databases
Window tabs make it convenient for you to switch from one open document or database to another in Notes. Every time you open a document or database, a new window tab appears beneath the toolbar (or beneath the main menu bar if the toolbar is hidden.) In this picture there are four window tabs: one for the Welcome page, and one each for Pat Wilkins' Inbox, To Do list, and database application.

You can also open a database or document in a new window (new instance of Notes).

Follow these steps to work with window tabs and new windows:
