Views
You can access all available views from the Views tab, using the Gate UI and
then dragging a view into a viewport.
NOTE You cannot undo a drag view operation. If you frequently add or remove
specific views, you can add them to the Pick List for even faster access.
A view can be:
1 A view where you work on or view your composition;
2 A browser where you work with files.
The following views are available:
