👍 It’s on the board, tentatively slated for Q4 this year. What I have in mind is where whatever is in the current view is simply exported, by itself, into a new tab. There could be other methods too, will explore more when we’re ready to start working on it.

Thanks! We’re excited about it!

Thanks for the clarification!

It’s not obvious - because there is a lot of clean up that needs to happen, but the “level 2” you describe is what we call the “Scope View” i.e. Oscilloscope View. See the video here: [Alpha Release 4](https://discuss.saleae.com/t/alpha-release-4/46) . The “trigger settings button” is specific to the Scope View, that’s why it’s on that panel. “Capture start triggering” like in the old software has moved here:

That said, it does feel like a step backwards in some respects (decoupling the trigger settings from the Channel Labels that is) but will def. be revisited over time.
