The new console attempts to keep as much information in the current window, without creating multiple windows / tabs in the browser.  This is a departure from the v9 console, where many options resulted in opening a new tab/window.

Separate windows can be useful if you are planning to use copy / paste between modules / fields settings and so the ability to open the current window in a new tab has been introduced.  This will allow users to open multiple windows and still compare values between the two without having to navigate between menu items to select objects / fields.

To open the current window in a new tab, select the pop out icon:

Pop out icon - opens the current display in a new tab

All items in the Utility section of the menu tree will open in a new tab.  As a result, the "Back" arrows have been removed.  Switch between tabs or close the current tab to navigate back to the console.
