The App Tab interface is effectively the main working interface for Pro users in the full client. Users will spend most of their working time within this interface moving between different apps and instances of models, reports, presentations, formulations, publications and illustrations.
The App Tab interface has its own home menu, tab functions, and status bar items:
- Main Navigation -
- Home Menu - (green arrow above) Opens useful jump buttons and quick content management functions.

- Tab Manager - (orange arrow) Opens the App Tab Manager, which is used for filtering and managing open tabs.
- Tabs - For details about navigating around the tabs, see Tab Navigation (below).
- Tabs - (red box) The tabs each represent a visual, presentation, and so on that is currently open.

- You can also use the wheel on your mouse to scroll through the tabs.
