# Working in Multiple Tabs or Windows

If you have your Cadmus assessment open in multiple tabs or windows, you'll see a notification asking you to **Refresh to see changes** to continue working.

### How it works

If you open Cadmus in multiple tabs or windows, only one of these can be active at any point in time. This prevents you from creating conflicting versions of your work.

**NOTE**: Working in multiple tabs or windows can interfere with the **autosaving function** in Cadmus. Instead, we recommend using the *Notes* tab in Cadmus.

### To fix this problem

1. Click **Refresh to see changes** to sync any changes, then continue working on your assessment.
2. Close any other windows where you have your Cadmus assessment open.

### Contact us for help
