# Working in a Split View

Project Editor allows you to see and engage with your files using the Split View. You can enter Split View by selecting the Split View icon or using a shortcut.

You can create new files while in the Split View, but the delete option is disabled.

## Use the Split View Icon

1. After you have opened a project, select the **Split View** icon to reveal two views.

The view on the left shows the existing file and the view on the right shows the new file.
