Timeline Tabs
The timeline features tabs that let you have multiple animations open simultaneously. This allows you to switch between animations without closing one to open another.
Each tab contains a separate, independent animation with its own targets, audio, triggers, keyframes, and more. The only shared elements between all open animations are Preferences and Settings.
