How to move multiple layers to another tab in Photoshop

Question

I usually don't work with photography, so I apologize if my question sounds stupid, but I am doing a small project, and I need help with Photoshop and layers.
I have one image with multiple different layers and groups. I would like to save everything as one and move it to a new tab in the same Photoshop window. Is it possible to use the project with layers in the second tab as a whole, but if I modify something on the original tab, that the copied "image" on the second tab is automatically updated, so I don't need to save the first image every time and manually import it to the second one? Or is there any other solution for this?

You can place the first image (or a version if it with the layers you want) into the second image as a smart object. Then by editing that smart object you can open a new window with the embedded version and edit the two files in the way you describe.
Note you will have to save the embedded smart object to update the parent document.
