This is a basic question but I haven’t found a way to view two documents in the View/Edit pane. Is this incredibly obvious? How is it done?

It’s not yet possible to view/edit two documents side by side in the same preview pane, only to open them e.g. in two document windows (see _Data \> Open_) or in two tabs (see _Data \> Open in Tabs_ while pressing the Option modifier key).

Ah. Well that makes me feel better actually. I thought I was missing something basic. Opening in two documents windows is fine.
