Starting with WinZip 17, when you open WinZip empty (that is, without opening a WinZip file) the default tab that opens will be the Create tab (upper part of picture). If you open an existing WinZip file, the tab is moved one space to the right and it becomes the Edit tab, to signify that you can edit the contents of an existing file (lower part of picture). The features in this tab are listed by section and described below the picture.
