Closing a View
There is no need to ever close a view. To invoke a new one, you simply need to select it and the previous view will be closed automatically. You can have different views active on each open database, log file or live connection, with each such open session being called a Window. As you switch between these windows, the relevant view will be reinstated for the window. If you close a window, the next remaining window will be displayed with its associated view.
