Run tool window
The Run tool window displays output generated by your application. If you are running multiple applications, each one is displayed in a tab named after the run/debug configuration applied.
If you re-runan application, the new output overwrites the contents of the tab. To preserve the output of an application, even if you re-run it, pin the output tab.
The appearance of each tab depends on the type of the application being run and can include additional toolboxes and panes.
