Layout

Windowed, Framed or Dynamic: one page at a time, or the list and what you open side by side.

The layout decides what happens when you open something from a list on Notes, Review Inbox or Skills. There are three.

Windowed, Framed and Dynamic, in Settings › Preferences

Windowed

One page at a time. Click a note and it fills the window. Go back to see the list again.

A note in Windowed: it fills the page, with its details on the right

Best for phones, tablets and small screens. This is the default.

Framed

The list stays on the left, and what you click opens on the right. Click another row and only the right side changes, so you never lose your place in the list.

A note in Framed: the notes list on the left, the open note on the right

On Review Inbox the right side shows the change to review; on Skills, the skill.

Best for wide screens and big monitors.

Dynamic

Dynamic switches between the two for you, by the width of the window. A wide window shows frames. Make it narrower and you get one page at a time; widen it and the list comes back.

Choose it if you use the same browser on a laptop and on a big monitor, or often resize the window. Hiding the sidebar makes room for frames sooner.
