+<note tip>It is possible to open more than one instance of Dinamica EGO. This can be useful when comparing the structure of two models. However, beware that operations such as copying and pasting data between two or more instances of Dinamica EGO are not allowed.</note>
 These five components of the Dinamica EGO interface are described in more detail in the following sections.

-The option window is divided into 6 tabs. The General tab has options for filling in information on the model properties, and model backup settings. The EGO script tab is related to the EGO script format. The system tab comprehends options related to system setup, such as enabling and disabling auto updates. The Metadata allows inspecting and editing the current metadata template. The Integration tab enables configuring the active session name and plugins such as R Integration with Dinamica. The Advanced tab enables the user to set Memory Management and Processor Use options manually.

 === Models on Dinamica EGO ===
-Models are expressed in Dinamica EGO as a sequence of functors connected via compatible inputs and outputs. Hence data flow through these operators to produce a desirable outcome that represents the solution to a query on some environmental topic.
 \\
-<note>**How do I create a model on Dinamica EGO?** A model is designed simply by dragging functors from the library window and placing them on the sketch. </note>
