+- 2026-10-22: One native window per open document on the desktop. File › New and Open (from the ribbon, File, shortcuts, the file manager, the command line or the control channel) open the document in a window of its own, focused and placed a step below and right of the last one; opening a file replaces a blank document nobody has used in its own window, and a file that is already open brings its window to the front. Each window keeps its own ribbon tab, File page, dialogs, panes, scroll position and composition. View › Window › Switch Windows lists the windows and brings the chosen one forward. File › Close and a window's close button close that window, asking about unsaved changes first; the last window stays open with no document. Quitting asks about each document with unsaved changes in its own window, and Cancel keeps everything open. The control channel's input and screenshots go to the window focused last. The web app keeps one window.
 - 2026-10-22: Recovery covers every open document. Each dirty document keeps its own copy, written on the same ten-second cadence whether it is shown or not; closing a document without saving deletes its copy, as saving does, and a clean exit deletes the copies of every document saved or closed since its last copy. File › Recover lists only copies no open document keeps, and Restore opens a copy as another document (or in place of an untouched blank one), so it never replaces work. After a crash with several unsaved documents, the next start lists all of them.
 - 2026-10-22: The desktop window works with several open documents (one window per document comes next). View › Window › Switch Windows lists them and shows the one chosen, back where it was left; New, Open and the mailings open beside unsaved work instead of asking about it; File › Close shows the next document; quitting asks about every document with unsaved changes, one at a time, and Cancel keeps the app open.
 - 2026-10-22: Several open documents in one session (engine part of one window per document). File › New opens a new document beside the open ones; File › Open opens beside them too, replaces a blank document nobody has used, and shows a file that is already open instead of opening it twice. Each document keeps its own text, selection, undo history, find state, view and recovery copy. View › Window › Switch Windows (`view.switchWindows`) lists the open documents and switches between them; `file.closeDocument` closes one where no window asks about unsaved changes (agents, headless sessions). Envelopes, Labels, Finish & Merge and New from Template open their result as a new document and leave the main document open as it was. Document ids are unique in the process. The desktop app still shows one document per window; the windows come next.
