Add and Organize Bookmarks
Bookmarks provide quick access to files that you regularly open.

You can also drag the files from the Window List to the Bookmarks pane.

Rearrange Reports
You can rearrange reports to display them in a separate pane. As you drag the report tab, zones appear that show you where to place, or “dock”, the report.
1. In Car Physical Data.jmp, run the Contingency script.
2. In Car Poll.jmp, run the Distribution script.
The data tables and reports appear in tabs.

Tips:
• Keyboard shortcuts that work in JMP windows outside of projects work the same in projects. For example, press Ctrl and then W to close a selected pane (for example, the Window List) or press Ctrl and then S to save a document.
• If the data table associated with a report is updated on your computer, the report in your project is updated when you reopen the project.
