This should be a simple one...
Add a new Mainstack. Then add a new card to that stack. The windows are placed on top of each other.

In one of the videos, I was able to see that you can actually view both cards at one time. I can't do that on my computer. What setting do I need to change?

No, it is only ONE window! A stack = 1 window
So you can only see one card (of this stack) at the same time.

Maybe it LOOKED that way or they created a snapshot from the other card or whatever...

I can't either, if that helps

See above, this is just not possible, because it is the nature of the stack/card metaphore!

Please take a look at these stack, if you didn't already, very helpful to get the basics like the one above:

It's likely you were seeing two stacks. A mainstack can have any number of substacks, which are separate stacks stored in the same stackfile on disk. You can open a substack and its mainstack will remain open at the same time. But as Klaus said, any single stack is a window and you can only view one of its cards in that window.

OK. I reviewed it again, it was the mainstack window and a substack window showing at the same time while in development. It was not 2 cards in the same stack.

Congratulation!
