## Navigation

Use the following menu commands to navigate in grid view:

- To open an item without closing grid view, use the right-click menu command View Details in a New Tab. This enables you to open details without losing your context in the grid.

- To quickly access the history of an item in a grid, use the right-click menu command Show <value> in History. For example, if you want to see who changed an item's phase, right-click the phase and select Show Phase in History. The History tab opens to the relevant details.
