There a several areas within Contour where you have the opportunity to view an individual Item's detail. The detail will often be displayed within a tab in Contour's center panel, however you often have the option to preview the detail of an Item without opening a new tab or closing a window you are viewing.
| • | Selecting an Item directly from the Explorer or Releases View opens the Item in a tab of the center panel. |

| • | Click on the ID link that is available in areas such as the Relationships' element, Suspect Links, Impact Analysis and Recent Activities view available on the Dashboard. |

| • | Finally, when viewing the Trace Matrix, double-click on the Item's name to view its detail. |

Sometimes you want to see an Item's detail but you don't want to open a new tab in the center panel view. To open a pop-up window showing the Item's detail, right-click on an Item and select Preview Item within the Explorer View, Releases View or a list.
