Good territory decisions usually come from comparing options, not staring at one. AlignMix lets you keep more than one alignment open in tabs, so you can hold two scenarios side by side, the current plan and a proposed redraw, say, and flip between them to see what actually changed.
Switching Between Tabs
Moving between open tabs is a keyboard shortcut: hold Ctrl and press Tab to jump to the next open file. It’s a small thing, but when you’re comparing scenarios you switch back and forth constantly, and not reaching for the mouse each time keeps your eyes on the map.

Why Keep Two Alignments Open
Scenario comparison is where this earns its keep. Open your current alignment in one tab and a proposed one in another, and flipping between them makes the differences pop, which territories grew, which shrank, where the disruption lands. It’s a quick gut-check alongside the harder numbers like the disruption percentage from your design criteria review. For an even clearer before-and-after within a single map, a static layer overlays the old boundaries on the new design; tabs and static layers are two ways to answer the same question, “what did this change actually do?”
