Using duplicate browser tabs 

At times, users might look up something in workday without losing the current position in the Workday system (e.g. students or advisors searching for courses while registering). Users can do this by creating a duplicate tab on the browser that will allows two copies of Workday real-time open for students to flip back and forth two pages if needed. When done, simply close the duplicate tab on the browser. 

Right click the Workday tab on your browser and select Duplicate from the shortcut menu.
