Create a tab group

  1. Select a tab from your tab bar (either vertical or horizontal) and drag the tab onto another tab until you see a highlighted area, then release.
  2. You will then have the option to name the group and choose a color. These can be changed at any time.

The label you select will be visible in the tab bar. You can select this label to expand the group to see the tabs within it, or select it again to collapse the tabs into the tab group.

Remove a tab from a group

  • You can Save and close group, which will save and close the group for you to be able to re-open from the List all tabs icon tab icon 2 on the toolbar (Fx137ListAllTabs if you use vertical tabs). This toolbar icon can be removed if you wish - this support article will help.
