# Opening and Closing Saved Layouts

Navigation: Working with Nx Witness > Layout Management > # Opening and Closing Saved Layouts |

When a user logs into Nx Witness, all saved layouts are listed in the Resource Tree.

To open an existing layout

•Drag-and-drop the layout from Layouts in the Resource Tree onto the viewing grid

•Right-click on the layout and choose Open Layout (or press Enter) from the context menu

You can use the same steps to select and open multiple layouts. Each layout will open in a separate tab. (A layout that is already open will not be reopened in a second tab.)

Sometimes an Alarm Layout may pop up if configured. See "Showing Cameras on Alarm Layout" for details.

Note: After Nx Witness is closed, all saved layouts opened in tabs will be restored when a user logs back in.
