Site Studio Designer Guide > Getting Started With Designer > Workspace > Dialogs vs. Tabs
The workspace can display site assets in two ways: as dialogs or as tabs.
Site assets can display in the workspace as familiar Windows dialogs, with a title bar, minimize and maximize icons, and a close icon (Figure).
You can freely drag and drop dialog windows to any position within the workspace. This may be especially useful if you have a large screen, with lots of "real estate" to work with, so you can arrange the open windows to maximize viewing efficiency. You can also use the Window menu in Designer to change how the windows are arranged in the workspace (cascading, tiled).
If an asset has any unsaved changes, this is indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the asset name in the window title bar. When you close a window that has any unsaved changes, you are first prompted to save or discard these changes.
Site assets may also display in the workspace as tabs covering the entire workspace area (Figure).
You cannot move the tabs to a different position in the workspace as they already cover the entire workspace. You can use the left and right arrows in the top-right corner of the workspace to cycle between all open asset tabs, and the 'X' icon to close the current tab.
If an asset has any unsaved changes, this is indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the asset name on the tab. When you close a tab that has any unsaved changes, you are first prompted to save or discard these changes.
Switching Between Dialog and Tab Views
You can switch between dialog view and tab view at any time. If you want to see all open assets in tabs rather than dialogs, click the maximize icon of an asset window (Figure). Please note that after you maximize one dialog, all assets are displayed in tabs.
If you want to see all assets in dialogs rather than tabs, click the Restore Down icon in the top-right corner of the Designer application window (Figure), just below the application title bar icons. Please note that after you restore one tab, all assets are displayed in dialogs.
