File tabs: Minimise your screen clutter

Neatly organising multiple documents in AVA into one neat window


Minimise your screen clutter and take advantage of this Mac®OS feature within your AVA software. File tabs help you organise multiple windows within one application into one easy-to-navigate window.


Mac®OS Monterey and below

To switch on this feature:

  1. Go to  Menu > System Settings
  2. Click on the General icon



  3. Change ‘Prefer tabs’ to Always
  4. In AVA, go to the View Menu and select Show Tab Bar

Now, when you open files into AVA they will open into the same Design Window, but will be separated by tabs, creating a clean and organised working environment.

Tip: To view all open tabs in AVA, go to the View Menu and select Show All Tabs

Occasionally, when completing some tasks such as putting a file into repeat using the Carbon Copy from Crop Box method, separate Design Windows may be desirable. You can split windows by going to Window Menu > Move Tab to New Window, or you can simply drag a tab out from the window to separate it. 

To merge separated Design Windows, go to Window Menu > Merge All Windows.
