The active Corticon Studio window

Throughout this manual, reference will be made to the active Corticon Studio window. Any single open window in Corticon Studio may be active at a given time. Indication of active status is provided by the window's tab color. As shown below, the active window's tab is colored blue, while inactive tabs are colored gray. Shifting focus or, in other words, activating a different window, is accomplished simply by clicking anywhere within an inactive window or on the window's tab.
Below, the tabs of two Corticon Studio windows, tutorial_example.erf (a Ruleflow) and Untitled.ers (a Rulesheet) are shown tiled horizontally. tutorial_example.erf is the active window because its tab is blue.

Window Tabs

Each window tab contains information about the window's status:
This window is the active Corticon Studio file, and its save status is up-to-date
This window is not active. Clicking on it will cause it to become active
This window is the active Corticon Studio file, but recent changes have not yet been saved. As soon as the file is saved, the asterisk before the window's tab name will disappear.
The small red square overlaying the window's file type icon indicates there is an error somewhere in the window. Look in the Problems window for more information (Window > Show View > Problems in the Corticon Studio menubar)
The small yellow triangle overlaying the window's file type icon indicates there is a warning somewhere in the window. Look in the Problems window for more information (Window > Show View > Problems in the Corticon Studio menubar)
