Efficient Workbench

Multiple Windows, Input Tools, and Global Search

Cherry Studio's main window consists of a sidebar, tabs, and a content area. Conversation topics and Agent tasks can be opened in multiple tabs at the same time, or split into separate windows; the input area toolbar can also be adjusted to suit your habits.

When you need to view references and tasks at the same time, open one of the tabs in a new window while keeping the main window for overall context.

Scenarios suited for using separate windows

• Keep a reference conversation open while running an Agent task;
• Pin long-running monitoring tasks to the top so they are not obscured by other windows;
• Place conversations, files, or tasks on different monitors respectively;
• When presenting or sharing a task, do not expose other tabs in the main window.

Recommended layout

For office writing, you can keep the reference conversation in the main window and split the "Writing" Agent to the right-hand screen; for coding work, you can pin Agent tasks to the top while keeping files and documents in the main window; for long-term monitoring tasks, use a separate window, but do not place tasks that require frequent permission confirmation where you cannot see them.

An independent window still belongs to the same Cherry Studio data environment. It is not a new account or private space; the content of the same topic or task will still be saved and synced.
