Claim 0:
1. A method of creating multiple windows in a user interface for a group-based communication system operating in a single-window user interface state, the method comprising:
causing display of a parent window of the user interface for the group-based communication system,
wherein the user interface for the group-based communication system is implemented with one or more code libraries configured to operate in the single-window user interface state;
receiving, within the user interface, actuation of a control for creating a child window for the user interface;
responsive to receiving the actuation of the control, creating the child window for the user interface,
wherein a local variable for the child window is associated with a global variable of the one or more code libraries that is configured to manipulate the user interface, the local variable comprising a local variable scope distinct from a global variable scope of the global variable; and
responsive to a change of state in the parent window, reflecting the change of state in the child window.
