If you would like to view two or more datasets at once, you can use the Window Manager feature in Galaxy:

  1. Click on the Window Manager icon on the top menu bar.
    • You should see a little checkmark on the icon now
  2. View a dataset by clicking on the eye icon to view the output
    • You should see the output in a window overlayed over Galaxy
    • You can resize this window by dragging the bottom-right corner
  3. Click outside the file to exit the Window Manager
  4. View a second dataset from your history
    • You should now see a second window with the new dataset
    • This makes it easier to compare the two outputs
  5. Repeat this for as many files as you would like to compare
  6. You can turn off the Window Manager by clicking on the icon again
