Currently, it’s not possible to have multiple files open in a single browser window. Because CPQ doesn’t sync changes across browser tabs, this creates a risk of overwriting code when multiple tabs are used for development. This limitation makes development more cumbersome. For example, when you want to view a global function’s definition and also see where it’s called, you have to jump around the file tree. I’ve tried working with multiple tabs, but often times end up saving in one tab and unintentionally overwriting changes made in another without refreshing. Adding a tabbed file view, similar to what’s available in standard IDEs like VS Code, would make development much more efficient and reduce this risk.

Please let me know if there is a solution to this problem!
I agree this is an issue, myself and a coworker have to be careful to not have the same CPQs open at the same time. I also would love to check fields or global functions while writing or editing rules, but like you said its not really supported.
Has anyone added this to Ideas? If so maybe we can go vote for it.
I previously voted on this idea that is applicable: Better version control – ability to check out/in CPQ items
We should definitely start a CPQ version of “Frideas” because there are a lot of great ones out there!

Just voted for that check in/out idea. I posted my multiple tabs suggestion in ideas as well: Multiple tabs for development | Epicor Ideas Portal
