## Search, tools and record tabs

Search by name or UID, or use **Advanced Search**, a powerful, customizable filter to narrow results by players, staff, and clubs.

Each record opens in a main tab. Its pages, such as **Information**, **Contract** or **Positions**, appear on the left.

> **TIP**
If double-clicking opens a tab without showing it, select that tab. You can change this in [Settings](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/help/settings.md#search-and-tab-behavior).

## Save the page you're editing

Select **Save Changes** while the page you're editing is active. This saves changes from that page to the running game.

## Current Screen

Open a player's profile or Attributes screen in Football Manager, then select **Current Screen** in FMRTE. 
> **WARNING**
Occasionally, this feature may not work correctly or may display the wrong item (player, club, etc.).To avoid this, simply switch between one or two tabs in-game before using it. 
<br/>For example, if you're on a player's profile, navigate to the **Attributes** tab (or any other tab within that profile), then press the Current Screen button.

Check the name and club: detection can sometimes find the wrong player. Use [Search](https://docs.fmrte.com/26/scouting/search.md) if it does.

## Keyboard shortcuts

| Action | Windows | macOS |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Save current tab | `Ctrl+S` | `Cmd+S` |
| Reload current page | `Ctrl+R` | `Cmd+R` |
| Advanced Search | `Ctrl+F` | `Cmd+F` |
| Mass Edit | `Ctrl+M` | `Cmd+M` |
