What are Tabs and Windows used for in GLW?

GLW uses tabs and windows to facilitate study of multiple books.

Using tabs you can open multiple books at the same time. You can navigate in one tab while preserving the information in the other tabs. Each tab represents a different book. Many tabs may be created but only one can be viewed at a time.

Another method for viewing multiple screens is Using multiple windows. Windows fhas the same capabilities as tabs, but Windows allows you to view the screens simultaneously.

One example of how multiple tabs and Windows can be helpful is illustrated by an example from the Come Follow Me manual.
