Tabs

In FlexNote, the Tab system is located in the left sidebar, used to manage all your currently opened content, including various types of cards, whiteboards, PDFs, and more. Every time you open new content, the system automatically creates a corresponding Tab in the sidebar, allowing you to quickly switch between multiple tasks or ideas.
