Overview

How tabs, tab groups, and de-anchor mode work together to build a genuinely custom multi-monitor layout instead of being stuck with a single fixed grid.

What's covered

  • Tabs and tab groups — Multiple charts, DOMs, and web views can live as tabs within a single window or be grouped side-by-side, so a single window can hold several views at once. This uses the same underlying window-management pattern throughout the platform (as first introduced in the Home & Chart overview video).
  • Split the workspace by dragging a tab to an edge — Dropping a tab on a window's edge splits that window into resizable panes, allowing you to build custom multi-pane layouts on the fly instead of relying only on preset workspace templates.
  • De-anchor a tab into its own window — De-anchoring pulls a tab out of its parent window entirely and turns it into a standalone floating window. This is the key step for multi-monitor setups, because a de-anchored chart can then be moved to a second or third screen independently of the main window.
  • Re-anchor a floating window — A de-anchored window can be dragged back into a tab group to rejoin the main layout, so splitting a tab out is fully reversible rather than a one-way change.
