The Books branch is used to house all book (*.epbx) files that are a part of the workspace. Books are collections of sheets, on which graphs may be placed and laid out for plotting and displaying curves.
When a book is created or opened, the name and description will appear by default in the workspace pane, under the Books branch. It is of course possible to open multiple books, and these will be listed in the order in which they are opened. One or more sheets, which display graphs or notes, may be included with each book (the sheets may be sorted).
See Features and Operations | Books for more on creating, loading and saving books and sheets.
