Split screen
Ability to split the screen horizontally or vertically. It's common practice in code editors.
One screen for the work area with filters. Another for all items to search.
I could do it now via Chrome apps shortcuts and native split-screen on Mac.
I couldn't drag/mirror with the drag from one screen to another.
There is no auto-update for the search (I need to update it by hands while perform changes on All items list)

> It's been eight months. Why hasn't it been developed?
We've been working on images, mirrors, backlinks and several other features. WorkFlowy panes is on our list, but we don't have a set date to build this. So much to do and only 365 days a year. We get asked the same on just about every feature that is requested, but we have to choose what to work on next. It's a matter of time ;-)

Frank,
Thanks. So your plans for a "pane feature" and comments like here (https://workflowy.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360078155591/comments/360016111072) has been dropped?

The ability to drag is surely the key here, but multi window is more minimal and allows the native window manager shortcuts to be used for WF viewports. This respects those who are power users of window placement on their desktop, and is both more minimal and more flexible.
* Comparing two heirarchies? Place them side-by side
* Working on a document in WF while keeping your task list open? Small task list on one monitor and full- or half-screen WF on another.
* Multitasking? Three WFs on different monitors, each beside the non-WF tools you are using for that task

Yes. Another way of having a dashboard with two WorkFlowy lists is by pinning a window with two different WorkFlowy instances using the beautiful Arc browser ( https://thebrowser.company ) but obviously the drag and drop won't work through them as it is not a WorkFlowy feature but a temporary workaround. The only perfect solution will be when we have a native built-in side-by-side view in the WorkFlowy app.

I don't mean to be rude, but this has to be one of the most requested features, it's been requested for over two years...in the process, tools like Roam, Obsidian, Tana, etc., are all now in a much better position, much quicker.
It's unfortunate Workflowy has been so slow in its development.
It just got stuck in the past.

I've found that there are currently several threads asking for almost the same features with different names. If all of these messages were merged in only one thread it would be the number one request by far! See some of these in the links below:
Even better than this would be the ability to have different panels and side-by-side views, as requested in all these other threads:
