The following table lists ways in which you can customize the appearance and layout of views.
| Task | How to… |
|---|---|
| Show a view | Use subcommands of View > (View Name), which may include a contig number or the word Show. For instance, to see the Alignment view for Contig x, you would choose View > Alignment > Contig x > Show. |
| Change the style (fonts, colors, calculation metrics and more) | Use the Style panel and its subsections. Customization for font style and size applies to all text in a view. Individual rows cannot have different styles. |
| Detach a view | Only certain views can be detached. To do this, use subcommands of View > (View Name) that end in Detach, or right-click on the view tab and choose Detach (View Name). Detaching a view turns it into a free-floating window. |
| Reattach all detached views to their original locations | Use View > Reattach All Views. |
| Show the active view in full-screen mode | Use the View > Full Screen command or the the Full screen tool  at the bottom right corner of the view. |
| Exit from full-screen mode | Click the Esc key, use the Exit Full Screen tool ( ) at the bottom of the full-screen view, or press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+F. |
| Configure the number and location of visible views. | Use the View > Document Layout command or the Change layout tool (image varies) in the bottom right corner of the view to access possible layouts. The following options are available:
|
| Zoom in or out on a view | Some views have independent vertical and horizontal zoom in/out sliders. Grab any green slider with your mouse and drag left/right or up/down to zoom in or out in the view.  |
| To view two or more documents simultaneously on a split screen | By default, only one document at a time is displayed, even if several documents are open. To view two or more documents simultaneously on a split screen, drag a project tab away from its current position. When you see a black arrow, release the mouse button. Documents can be re-docked in their original positions by reversing this process. |
| Return to the default window display | Choose View > Reset Panel Layout. |
