Tabs
Not every card deserves screen space all the time. The tab bar holds cards you want one click away without them competing for board area.
Using it
Section titled “Using it”- Add to Tabs on a card moves it off the board into the tab bar.
- Clicking a tab shows that card large; clicking it again returns you to the board.
- Move to Board puts it back into the grid.
- New Tab creates a card directly in the bar.
- Hide tabs / Show tabs collapses the bar when you want the full height.
A tabbed card is still running. This is a presentation choice, not a lifecycle one.
Tabs versus Icebox
Section titled “Tabs versus Icebox”They look similar and mean different things:
| Tabs | Icebox | |
|---|---|---|
| For | cards you switch to often | sessions you are not working with now |
| Card types | any | agent sessions only |
| Lives in | the bar above the board | a toolbar button on the Mac, the workspace pane on the iPhone |
| Coming back | click the tab | Move to Board, at the board edge a new session takes |
Rule of thumb: tabs are for attention, the Icebox is for storage.
Details
Section titled “Details”- Tabs are per workspace and stored with the board, so they survive restarts and appear identically on every device.
- A card is either on the board or in the tabs, never both; the host rejects a board grid and tab list that name the same card twice.
- Tab order is the order you added them; drag to reorder.
- A card in the tab bar keeps running like any other; switching to its tab shows exactly what it did while you were elsewhere.
