This is how I typically work in PaintToolSai/PS and was wondering how to mimic it or if its even possible on Krita. I've been messing around and can't figure it out. Also, I know about the "overview" window and would rather not use that. I couldn't seem to control the zoom on it

On the toolbar go to Settings > Configure Krita > General > Window (tab)
There you will see the first option named "Multiple Document Mode" and a button at the right likely showing "Tabs", click on it and choose "Subwindows", this will take effect intermediately without restarting Krita, there with your document open you can go to the toolbar and click on Window > New View > "select your file"
That will open another instance of your document, then you can arrange the windows at will. : )

That was perfect. Thank you! Probably one of the only things that would've kept me from transitioning to Krita completely

No problem, glad it works the way you expected : )
