# Tabbed Layout

The **Playbook Designer** provides a tabbed layout that can display features of a Playbook—[Components](/v1/docs/playbook-components), DataStore, [Versions](/v1/docs/playbook-versions), and [Executions](/v1/docs/playbook-executions)—in individual tabs within the open Playbook (Figure 1).

The tabbed layout allows you to view and modify these features without opening a new browser tab or navigating away from the Playbook. The layout also persists between browser sessions, enabling you to pick up with the same tabs when you resume work on the Playbook.

## Opening Tabs

To open a new tab with a Playbook Component, a previous version of a Playbook, or an execution of a Playbook, click on the icon for the desired feature in the side navigation bar and then select a specific item to open. Clicking on the DataStore icon will automatically open the DataStore in a new tab. See [*Side Navigation Bar*](/v1/docs/side-navigation-bar)—specifically, the respective sections [on](/v1/docs/components) [these](/v1/docs/versions) [four](/v1/docs/executions) [features](/v1/docs/datastore)—for more information.

If you have more tabs open in the **Playbook Designer** than can be shown at one time, a **VIEW MORE**menu will be shown to the right of the tabs. To access the other open tabs, click **VIEW MORE** and select a tab from the list (Figure 2).
