Views open in a panel to the right of your sessions, so you can read code, test a page, or plan work while your agents keep going on the left.

![The Open a view picker in the view panel, beside an agent chat](/docs/blume-assets/content/docs/images/views.png)

## Open a view

- Click the **view panel** button at the right end of the header, or press **Cmd+Option+B**.
- With nothing open, the panel lists every view you can open. Press a view's letter to open it: **C** Code, **B** Browser, **K** Kanban, **U** Automate, **D** Files, **T** Terminal, **W** Work.
- The **+** after the last tab opens another view or a new browser tab. **Hidden here** in the same menu brings back a view you hid in this project.

Each project remembers its own tabs. Press **Option+1** to **Option+9** to jump between them. Drag the divider to change the width.

The buttons at the end of the tab strip **pop the view out** into its own window, or **expand** it over your sessions (Cmd+Ctrl+E). The **+** joined to the expand button **expands it fully**, hiding the sidebar too (Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+E).

## Tab menu

Right-click a view tab for:

- **Reload**, **Sleep** (unloads it but keeps its tab) and **Open externally**.
- **Pin tab**: shrinks it to its icon at the left of the row.
- **Show in > This Project** or **This Space**: untick one to hide the view there and keep it everywhere else.
- **Configure**: change a website view's home page.
- **Close tab**.

Browser pages sit in the same row as the views, one tab per page, and you can drag any tab anywhere in it.

## Built-in views

| View         | What it's for                                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Code**     | A full VS Code editor for the project. Files your agents mention open here. See [Code and Browser](/views/code-and-browser).                                        |
| **Browser**  | A real Chromium browser with tabs and DevTools. Annotate a page and send the notes to an agent. Cmd+T opens a tab. See [Code and Browser](/views/code-and-browser). |
| **Files**    | Read and edit the project's Markdown, HTML and Excalidraw files, and send feedback to an agent. See [Files and feedback](/views/files).                             |
| **Kanban**   | A task board your agents can work from. See [Kanban board](/views/kanban).                                                                                          |
| **Automate** | Run agents on a schedule. See [Automations](/views/automations).                                                                                                    |
| **Terminal** | A terminal beside your sessions for servers and one-off commands.                                                                                                   |

## More views

Ghostex also has views for **GitHub** (opens automatically for GitHub projects), **Linear**, **Jira**, **Sentry**, **Figma**, **Vercel**, **Supabase**, **GitHub Actions**, **PostHog**, and any website you like (**Custom Website**). Turn them on in **Settings > Extensions > Store**, then paste the page you want as the view's home. A **Storybook** view appears on its own when a project has Storybook. With Workspaces on, the **Work** view lists your tickets and pull requests; see [Workspaces and Work mode](/views/work).

The pencil on a view's card in the Store chooses where it shows: everywhere, or only in some projects and Spaces.

Views you don't use sleep on their own, so they don't slow anything down.
