To **work on several records at once**, you minimize an open card instead of closing it. The record follows you around the platform, so you can switch context and come back without losing what you were doing.

## Why context switching costs so much

Operations work is interrupt-driven. The cost is not the interruption itself but the work of getting back to where you were.

- A half-completed approval abandoned because something urgent arrived
- Re-finding a ticket you were mid-way through answering
- Losing unsaved edits when you navigate away
- Opening the same record three times in one morning

## What minimizing enables

| Situation                      | What you can do                                          |
| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Interrupted mid-approval**   | Minimize and return without reopening                    |
| **Cross-checking another app** | Keep the record visible while navigating elsewhere       |
| **Handling several tickets**   | Move between records without losing position             |
| **Panel in the way**           | Move the minimized card where it does not block the view |

## How to use it in Jestor

1. Open a record in **Jestor** from any app or board.
2. Minimize it when something else needs attention.
3. Navigate to another app — the minimized record travels with you.
4. Move it if it sits over something you need to see.
5. Save with the keyboard shortcut and close it when the work is done.

## Why choose Jestor for high-volume operations?

**Jestor** designed this for people handling many cases at once — tickets, approvals, opportunities — where closing and reopening records is a real tax on the day.

Forms also link back to their source table, so you can jump to where a piece of data lives when you need to check it, then return.
