Managing Casts
When casts are grouped with other casts, they appear as tabs in the Cast panel group.
To save the configuration of your Cast panel tabs, you must save the panel layout before closing
your file. When you open the file again, restore the tab configuration by opening the panel layout
you created. See “Saving panel layouts” on page 40.
For more information about Cast panel management, see Chapter 4, “Cast Members and Cast
Windows,” on page 127.
