Let's open a file on the View menu and create a NEW VIEW, now that View panel shows: View 1  and View 2.

With the command Edit Views you can rename any of them. (Recommended)

So good so far. When you select one at the View menu you see that view on the display.

Now go to Window menu: Create a New Vindow, you have two or more windows on your monitor, use the Windows>Arrange command to show and organize on your monitor, and click on any of them to select it. If you go back to the View menu, you can chose which view to use on that window.

Keep in mind, they have or may use different zoom levels, but if you edit on one, the changes are on the file, on all the views and reflected also on every window.

Regarding how to know where you are on, just click any of them, that's the active, AND its name on the top bar is highlighted, white letters using the black inteface, while names on other windows is dimmed, grayed.
