You can open any editor in a separate window that is detached from the modeling
workbench. This is helpful when you want to fully maximize the size of the editor. A separate window
can contain only one editor.
About this task
The functionality of all editors remains the same, whether an editor is opened in a separate
window or used within the modeling workbench.
Note that when you close a modeling workbench, any editor that is open in a separate window
remains open and functional. The separate window remains functional as long as you are logged in to
Planning Analytics Workspace.

chores, and sets. Press the
