# How to rearrange the position and view of the windows in the GenomeStudio interface

The default window configuration of the GenomeStudio Methylation Module displays three windows simultaneously: Samples Table, Group Methylation Profile, and Sample Methylation Profile.

To customize GenomeStudio’s user interface, users can rearrange manually the position and view of the detachable docking windows to suit their analysis requirements. The window layout can also be restored to the default configuration if it has been modified or lost.

The guide below describes how to rearrange the docking windows and restore the default window layout in the GenomeStudio Methylation Module.

**Figure 1:** Default View of the Methylation Module Main Screen.

If the default view is lost (Figure 2), the detachable docking windows can be repositioned and reconfigured manually to restore the default view.

**Figure 2:** Methylation Module Main Screen where only one window can be viewed at a time.

To access the window management options, right-click on each window, a context menu drops down from which options can be selected. The available options vary depending on the current position of the selected (active) window. The available options are:

* **Prominent:** Brings the active window to the front.
* **Rebalance:** Rebalances all windows.
* **Move to Previous Tab Group:** Moves the active window from its current tab group to the previous tab group.
* **Move to Next Tab Group:** Moves the active window from its current tab group to the next tab group.
* **New Horizontal Tab Group:** Moves the active window from its current tab group horizontally, below the previous tab group.
* **New Vertical Tab Group:** Moves the active window from its current tab group vertically, to the right side of the previous tab group.
* **Tear Away:** Displays the active window in a separate browser.
* **Re-join:** Re-join the detached window to the parent browser.

The following screenshots show the drop-down menu from the different Windows, and the available options.

**Figure 6.** Drop-down menu for a tab that has been teared away.

After arranging the windows in the preferred positions, the user can save the layout as the Default View. If the window configuration changes in the future, the saved layout can be restored by selecting "Restore Default View" in the "View" tab (Figure 7).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.illumina.com/microarray/genomestudio/microarray-genomestudio-reference_material-list/000010013.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
