Add a Tab to Another Document

Reuse a tab elsewhere: add the active tab to another of your documents, and edits made in either place appear in both.

Sometimes a tab you built in one document belongs in another too: a glossary, a shared timeline, an architecture board two projects both rely on. Add to Document adds the active tab to another document you own, without leaving the editor.

Adding a tab to another document

Open the active tab's ellipsis menu and expand the Organise section.
Choose Add to Document.

Pick the destination document in the dialog that opens; a filter box narrows long lists. The tab is added to it.

The option is only available when you actually have somewhere to add it to: if this is your only document, Add to Document is greyed out until you create another.

Add to Document opens a filterable picker dialog listing your other documents to add the tab to.

One tab, shared between documents

Add to Document doesn't make a copy: it is the same tab in both places. Edit its elements, restyle it, or rename it from either document and the change lands in the other as well. If the other document is already open in another window, reload it to see the latest edits.

Two things stay per-document, so each document can organise the shared tab its own way: the tab's position in the tab bar, and which tab folder (if any) it sits in.

Removing the tab from one document doesn't touch the others; the tab and its contents are only deleted for good when you remove it from the last document containing it. Deleting a whole document works the same way: a tab it shares stays, with its history, in every other document it is in, and the delete confirmation tells you how many tabs that is before you go ahead.

Prefer an independent copy you can tailor per project? Use Duplicate in the same menu first, then add the duplicate to the other document.
