# Console View

The Eclipse Console View displays a variety of console types including the R Console. The Console view can manage multiple console represented by their pages. Only one page can be shown at once by the view. To see multiple consoles at the same time, it is possible to open multiple views.

### Common Actions of the Console View

| Name | Description | Availability
--- | --- | --- | ---
| Pin Console | If one pins a console by toggling the Pin Console button, it means that other consoles that might be opened (R Consoles or SVN consoles, TeXlipse consoles, etc.) will not open inside the current Console View, but inside a separate, new Console View. The pinning of an R console can also be set when configuring an R Launch Configuration. | View toolbar
