G4: two windows on one workbook without copying it; Arrange All

Browse Source 
- The workbook's active sheet is an atomic set in place (Workbook::active_sheet /
  set_active_sheet), so a window swap or sheet switch never clones the
  Arc<Workbook> or marks it dirty. Selections already live in DocState and the
  window views. Save records the sheet of the most recently active window.
- A dialog taken out of its window while it runs goes back to that window when
  a command run from it switched windows (dialogs::show, ui.dialog.confirm).
- view.arrangeAll {arrange?: tiled|horizontal|vertical|cascade, activeWorkbook?}
  returns the visible windows, active first; the desktop moves and sizes the
  native windows over the main window's monitor. New Window and Arrange All
  buttons on the View ribbon; Arrange Windows dialog.

# UI parity
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-22 · **Change:** minor (every workbook window is a native window of its own on the desktop, with its own draft, dialog and ribbon; closing one of several windows on a workbook doesn't ask; Quit asks about each unsaved workbook in its window; the last window closed quits on Windows and Linux, macOS keeps running) · **Target:** Microsoft Excel (Microsoft 365), Excel for Mac 16.113.4
