Place panels in tabs retroactively in App Designer.

I have already created an app in App Designer with multiple panels on one page. Now, I would like to go back and separate the panels between two tabs. Is there a way to place the panels into tabs after I already created the panels?

Hi,
As per my understanding, you created multiple panels in your app and now you wanted to place the panels in two tabs.
  1. If you have created the panels programatically, you can change the parent of the Panels(from UIFigure to UITab) and adjust the position accordingly.
  2. You can just drag and drop the panels into the required tabs. To ensure that the Panels are in the tabs, observe the heirarchy of components in the component browser i.e. see if the Panels are under tabs.
Hope this helps!

I am unable to drag and drop the panels into the tab, and I have ensured that auto-reflow was not enabled. Also, where can one change the parents of the panels? The only thing in the parent/child section is handlevisibility.
