In Pensiv, tabs are not fixed.
You can drag them to change order or move them to another panel. When you need to rearrange the screen while working,
moving tabs is the fastest way.

​
What you can do with tabs

By dragging tabs you can:
  • Reorder
    → Change tab order inside the same panel
  • Move between panels
    → Drag a tab into another panel
  • Create a new panel
    → Drag to the edge of the screen to create a new split
You don’t need to close or reopen files.
Your work stays continuous.

​
When to move tabs

Moving tabs helps when:
  • You want one document as the main focus
  • You want to put reference material in its own panel
  • You want to split the screen temporarily to compare
When you move a tab,
the layout updates immediately.

​
Example layout

How you arrange tabs can follow how you work. Panel layout example
  • Left panel
    → Main document
  • Right panel
    → Sheets, reference, plot
  • Bottom panel
    → Temporary comparison or review
This layout is not fixed.
You can change it whenever the work changes.

​
Summary

Moving tabs is not “tidying the layout.”
It’s repositioning what you’re focused on. You can adjust the layout
based on which file is central. In Pensiv,
changing the layout to match your flow is normal.
