What is the diffrerent of hyperlink target set to blank and self in adobe dreamweaver?

In Adobe Dreamweaver, setting a hyperlink target to "blank" means that the linked document will open in a new browser window or tab, allowing users to keep the original page open. Conversely, setting the target to "self" (default behavior) means the linked document will open in the same window or tab, replacing the current page. This choice affects user experience by either encouraging exploration without losing the original page or maintaining a single browsing context.
