How to work with document views

Last modified: March 28, 2025

Document Views

Documents have different views. Views are different aspects of an object (document’s content). You can switch between the views using the View menu or using the bottom part of the document area. Right-click it to display the switch buttons if they are not visible yet.

You can cycle through available views with the F7 key. This key switches you to the next view visible in the document’s bottom area. If you want to switch to an invisible view, you can do it with mouse by right-clicking in that area.

Note
Appearance of this menu may slightly vary depending on the product you use.
