About Understanding ParaCutter Screens
ParaCutter screens are similar in content elements and layout.

It also shows the Pin/Unpin and Close buttons.
- Pin/Unpin

By default, the screens are automatically pinned when they are opened.Pinned screens means that you can open additional instances of the same screen without losing the data in screens that are already open.
Unpinned screens mean that if you open another instance of the same screen, the current screen closes and any unsaved data is lost.
