Saving and Using Custom Column Layouts

You can create customized column layouts and save them for easy access at any time.
For example, some editors prefer to have the Master Comment 1 column after the Name
column, so they don’t have to scroll to that column all the time to review the assistant
editor’s notes. The custom column layouts you save are displayed in the shortcut menu
that appears when you Control-click any column heading in the Browser (except the
Name column).
