KOMPAS-3D allows you to work on several different documents at the same time.
A newly created document or document opened for editing is displayed on a separate tab – document tab. Tab headers are located in the row under the Main menu. At the beginning of the row, on the left side is the button to invoke the Start page 
. Tab titles are added to a row in a specific order (see section Position of the new tab).
On hovering the mouse pointer over the tab header, a thumbnail view of the document and the path thereto are displayed on the screen.
To activate a document tab, click its title. To switch between tabs sequentially, you can use the keyboard shortcuts <Ctrl>+<Tab> (switching from left to right) and <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<Tab> (switching from right to left).
If headers of all the tabs do not fit within a row, then before the first tab and at the end of the row the scroll buttons
and 
. Besides, at the end of the row there appears the button 
, which brings up the list of all document tabs. You can activate the required document tab by clicking its name in the list.
On the header of each tab, you can invoke the context menu. It includes the following commands:
•Close — close current document tab,
•Close all — close all document tabs,
•Move to a new window KOMPAS — open the current document in a new window KOMPAS-3D,
•Open file folder — open in file manager, containing the current document.
•Copy the full file name — place the name of the current document along with its absolute path in the Windows clipboard.
The last two commands are present in the menu if the file is saved to the disk.

A double-click on the empty space of the tab row opens the document creation dialog (see section Creating a Document), while the menu of the Start page activation button, located at the beginning of this row, contains commands for creating new documents, opening existing ones, as well as a list of recently opened documents. |
You can change the order of the tabs in the window in the following ways:
•Drag the tab title along the tab bar — each subsequent title will swap places with the one you’re dragging,
•drag a tab by its title and drop it into the desired location on the title bar (you must release the mouse button at the drop location) — the title bar borders will be highlighted, and the tab title will be placed in the desired location on the title bar.
Dragging a tab title out of the tab bar can also be used to create a new KOMPAS-3D window. To do this, release the mouse button anywhere on the screen. Creating new windows by moving document tabs is described in the section Working with multiple system features.
