Tabs and tiles

Sila lets you work across multiple conversations with tabs and split tiles — similar to VSCode and modern browsers.

What you can do

  • Open multiple tabs: Keep several chats, assistants, or files open at once. Switch instantly.
  • Split into tiles: Arrange views side by side. Compare chats or draft in one tile while referencing another.
  • Drag and drop: Reorder tabs, move them between tiles, or pop them into new splits.
  • Keyboard shortcuts: Use quick keys to open, close, switch, and move tabs. See Shortcuts.

Why it matters

  • Faster context switching: Jump between tasks without losing state.
  • Better parallel work: Chat with different assistants at the same time.
  • Reference while writing: Keep sources in one tile and compose in another.

How it works

  1. Open a chat or assistant; it appears as a tab.
  2. Split the view to create tiles; each tile manages its own tab strip.
  3. Drag tabs across tiles or reorder them as needed.

These layouts persist while you work, so your workspace stays organized across sessions.
