If the same KB workspace is visible in two windows that are associated or connected a G2, the items upon that workspace appear the same size (allowing for any difference in workspace scale in the two windows), the same color, and at the same x, y location within that workspace. Further, if the same item is visible in those two windows, and the user at one window moves that item, changes its color, or otherwise update its knowledge, that change is also visible in the other window.
In the next figure, two telewindows connected to the same G2 are also displaying the same workspace. When an operation in the first window moves the G2 list item upon the workspace, that item also appears to move in the second window. Thus, depending on how your KB is organized, two users working separately at two windows connected to the same G2 process, can interact independently with the same current KB.

One way to differentiate the operations that two simultaneously connected users can perform within the same current KB, is to use configurations. See Chapter 7, Configurations, for more information.
The next figure illustrates the relationship between:

TELEWINDOW-1 and TELEWINDOW-3 are the same, and the display in TELEWINDOW-2 and in the G2 process's local window are the same. This reflects the fact that a G2 can display a different set of the current KB's workspaces in each window that the G2 is serving. Further, for each window that a G2 serves, G2 can display a given workspace at a different location within the window and at a different scale. In the bottom part of the diagram, the G2's local window shows a KB workspace named
G2-WINDOW-ITEMS, which contains four g2-window items. One of these g2-windows is associated with the G2's own local window, and each of the other three is associated with a window produced by a Telewindows process that is connected to the G2.
