Working with the Navigator Reopen tab

The Reopen tab shows your previously opened files. This permits you to review the history of your work, and provides a convenient way to return to any previously edited files with a double-click.

If the Reopen tab isn't visible, click the small black triangle at the right edge of the Navigator panel's Title bar.

The Navigator Reopen toolbar provides a few handy tools:

• Click to Open the selected file, or double-click the filename.
• Click to Open the selected file in a new TexNotes Pro window.
• Click to Remove the selected file from the list (the file on your disk is not deleted).
• Click to Clear the list.

These same commands are available in the right-click menu.

You can set the maximum number of opened files displayed in Settings/Files and Folders.

Instead of using the Reopen tab, you can use the Navigator Explorer to access all your TexNotes Pro files regardless of whether or not they are open. Navigate to the location where you saved them.
