- The resource opens alongside your chat
From the panel menu

Resizing
Drag the divider between panels to adjust their widths. Each panel has a minimum size, so you can’t shrink them to nothing.Switching focus
Click anywhere in a panel to make it active. The active panel has a subtle highlight.Closing a panel
Click the X in a panel’s header, or use the … menu and select Close panel. When you close the last extra panel, you’re back to single-panel mode.Drag and drop
When you have multiple panels open, you can drag resources between them:- Click and hold on a resource (in a list, grid, or table)
- Drag it to another panel
- Drop it to open it there
Drag and drop only works in split view. In single-panel mode, right-click or Cmd-click to open things.
What works well in split view
Some common setups:| Left panel | Right panel | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| Project chat | Page editor | Discuss while editing |
| Task list | Task details | Review work quickly |
| Two pages | - | Compare documents |
| Chat | Calendar | Schedule while discussing |
| Kanban board | Task details | Drag tasks, see details |
Responsive content
Panels adjust their content based on width. In a narrow panel, you might see a compact view; widen it and you’ll see more detail. This happens automatically—content reorganizes itself as you resize.AI awareness
When you have a page open in split view while chatting with an AI coworker, the AI knows you can see the page. Instead of repeating everything it changes, the AI gives you brief confirmations since you’re watching it work in real time.Keyboard shortcuts
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open in new panel | Cmd/Ctrl + Click |
| Close current panel | Cmd/Ctrl + W (when panel focused) |
