The tab strip
The strip sits directly above the graph selector and query bar and spans the full width of the page. Each tab shows its own label; the active tab is highlighted.
The last remaining tab cannot be closed, so the workspace always has at least
one tab open.
Renaming a tab
A tab is labeled with the graph it has selected, orNew tab when no graph is

Escto cancel. - Clear the field to fall back to the graph name.
What each tab remembers
Switching tabs restores the tab’s view, not just its query. Every tab keeps its own:- Selected graph and query text
- Active results tab (Graph, Table, Metadata, or Schema)
- Canvas viewport (pan and zoom) and current selection
- Layout mode and direction, plus the animation, pin, and dim toggles
- Search and filter panel state, Graph Info panel state, and Chat panel state
- Open Customize Style panel
Persistence
Tabs are stored in your browser’s local storage and are scoped to the active connection. They survive a page reload, and switching connections gives you that connection’s own set of tabs. Closing a tab discards the state stored for it.Max Tabs
The number of tabs is capped by Settings → Browser Settings → User Experience → Max Tabs, which accepts a value between 4 and 10 and defaults to 8. At the cap theNew tab button is disabled and its tooltip points you at
the setting. Lowering the limit never closes tabs you already have open.
