Separate Tab to Put on a Different Display

[skmwrp]

I have two monitors, one being a pen display, which is somewhat small.

I'd like to be able to put the file I'm working on on the pen display, zoomed in to work, while I have a second view showing the full file on the bigger display.

Is there a way to do this without using Separated Mode, which puts my tools in odd places that float over the file?

Thanks.

New View?

In Non-Separated Mode you could drag the Navigator panel to become floating + increase its size to fill one of your two screens.

Actually for your goal Separated Mode was developed, note that you may arrange all windows and panels as wanted + additionally save your custom arrangements as presets for easier toggling between various viewing & screen settings. So it is easy to setup with the document layout window on one screen and all panels on the other. Or, as with non-separated mode, arrange all windows & panels one one screen + just the navigator panel on the other monitor.

Also, if in Separated Mode, you can open a 2nd view of your document with its own zoom level. (menu View > Views)

Thanks, but as far as I can tell, doing New View in non-Separated Mode just puts it into another, non-separable tab.

The Navigator panel was a great idea. Only now I understand why there's the other thread about the Navigator view being so low-res with that shading box.
