The Show in larger window menu item allows users to display

in the tree view.
The Collapsed element content setting governs how the

Simultaneous views
The desktop versions of Excel (but not Excel for the web) have a New Window
button on the View ribbon. Clicking this button enables users to view
multiple spreadsheets (or different portions of a single spreadsheet) at the same time.
Each of these views contains its own Formulas ribbon.
Clicking the Get Formula buttons on these ribbons allows users
to view different formulas (or different portions of a single formula) at the same time.
By expanding and collapsing different portions of a single formula in different views,
users can examine how the expanded elements relate to one another.
