How to show one window in several Stages

Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.

Method

Show in Stages

  1. 1

    Focus the window and choose Show in Stages… from the Snap Wheel's Send to Stage options or from the BetterStage menu bar.

  2. 2

    Choose Selected Stages and tick each Stage, or choose All Stages to include future Stages too.

  3. 3

    Click Apply. Each Stage keeps its own position for the window.

Method

Option-drag

  1. 1

    Open the Stages Bar.

  2. 2

    Hold Option and drag the window or its TabStack tab onto a Stage card. A green badge shows the Stage will be added.

It stays one window: closing it closes it in every Stage. Use Remove from This Stage on its badge to take it out of one Stage.
