Organize tab groups and move individual tools

Use tabs to organize a question

A Map panel is a group that can hold several tool tabs, with one active view visible at a time. Grouping related tools reduces clutter without requiring you to discard the less frequently used analyses. For example, several exposure metrics can share a group while a price chart stays visible beside them. The tabs retain their own widget configurations, so being in the same panel does not automatically make their filters identical. Choose clear names and a sensible order so another visit to the layout does not require rediscovering which tab answers which question.

Inspect and rename existing tabs

Explore the tabs already present in a built-in layout before adding new tools. A related chart may already be available behind the active tab.

1. Click each panel tab and read its tool title and current selection.
2. Open the tab's menu when you need to inspect Settings or the link group.
3. In an editable Map layout, use Rename to give a comparison tab a meaningful label.
4. Use the offered default-name action when a custom label no longer describes the tool.
5. Check that a renamed tab still uses the intended metric, date and instrument; a title change does not change its data configuration.

Move a group as one unit

Enter Edit layout and drag the group header or movement handle when the entire panel should relocate. Every tab in that group moves with it. This is the right action when the relationship among the tabs should remain intact but the panel needs a new position or size. The snap-grid preview can displace neighboring groups, so inspect the whole arrangement before committing. Use a corner handle to resize the group when all of its tools need more room rather than detaching a tab simply to obtain a larger temporary view.

Move an individual tab deliberately

Hold Alt while dragging a tab when you intend to move that widget rather than the complete group. Drop it into another group to join its tabs, or onto empty workspace space to detach it into a separate panel. The widget keeps its own configuration after the move. Verify that the target group is the intended one before releasing, especially when panels are narrow. If you want an additional instance instead of moving the original, use Duplicate from the editable tab menu and then arrange the new instance.

Use maximize and table views appropriately

A dense tool may only need more room for a short inspection. The tab menu can offer Maximize panel and Restore, which temporarily emphasize the group without requiring a permanent layout redesign. View as table appears only for tools that register table support; it is not a universal action for every chart. These view changes do not transform the source evidence. A table still reflects the tool's current filters and availability, while maximizing a chart does not extend historical retention or change its selected session.

Understand what happens to hidden tools

Inactive and hidden widgets suspend work where the feature supports that behavior. Returning to a tab can first show a retained frame and then synchronize current observations. Native futures dashboard views share the existing symbol lease, and an invisible widget does not independently keep every possible source active. This is intentional resource management. When you reveal a chart, give its catch-up or pending history state time to settle before comparing it with a continuously visible tool. A retained first frame is not proof that the tab ignored all updates permanently.

Troubleshoot lost, duplicate or mismatched tabs

If a tool appears missing, inspect neighboring groups and their inactive tabs before adding another copy. Check whether it was detached, moved or closed. Similar tab names can conceal different settings, so inspect the link group and filter controls rather than relying on the label. If an Alt-drag was interrupted by Escape, blur or a browser resize, examine the committed layout before retrying. Wait for the save state after a successful move. Include the original group, target group, tab title and whether Alt was held when reporting a tab that moved unexpectedly.
