+=== New `view_show` option to display a specified view on initialization.
+// #TINY-11967
+
+Previously, integrators could not configure the editor to open with a specific view (such as Suggested Edits or Revision History) displayed on initialization. This was needed when users would only need to resolve suggested changes or review content, or when the current user had permission only to review changes.
+
+In {productname} {release-version}, the new xref:custom-view.adoc#view_show[`+view_show+`] option allows specifying which view to display when the editor is initialized. The option behaves similarly to `+sidebar_show+` but takes precedence for views; both sidebars and views can be configured to show on init.

+== `+view_show+`
+
+This option allows the specified view to be displayed on editor initialization. It behaves similarly to xref:customsidebar.adoc#sidebar_show[`+sidebar_show+`] but applies to views and takes precedence when both are configured. Views and sidebars can both be set to show on init.
+
+The value must match the name of a registered view. Premium plugins that register views include:
+
+* xref:suggestededits.adoc[Suggested Edits] (`+suggestededits+`)
+* xref:revisionhistory.adoc[Revision History] (`+revision+`)
+* xref:advcode.adoc[Enhanced Code Editor] (`+code+`)
+
+Custom views registered via xref:custom-view.adoc[`+addView+`] can also be specified.
+
+include::partial$misc/admon-iframe-only.adoc[]
+
+*Type:* `+String+`
+
+=== Example: using `+view_show+` with a premium plugin
+
+[source,js]
+----
+tinymce.init({
+  selector: 'textarea', // change this value according to your HTML
+  plugins: 'suggestededits',

+  view_show: 'suggestededits',
+  // ... other Suggested Edits options (suggestededits_model, user_id, fetch_users)
