| - Reorder them: Drag and drop a tab to move it. | ||
| - Close them: Hover over a tab and select the {icon}`cross` icon. | ||
| - Close several tabs at once: When you hover over a tab and select the {icon}`boxes_vertical` **Actions** icon, options let you **Close other tabs** to keep only the active tab open or **Close tabs to the right** to only keep your first tabs and discard any subsequent tabs. | ||
| - Reopen recently closed tabs: If you close a tab by mistake, you can retrieve it by selecting the {icon}`boxes_vertical` **Tabs bar menu** icon located at the end of the tab bar. |

After reading this, I feel like we should rename the "Tabs bar menu" button in the UI and come back to update these docs later 😅 The plural "tabs" flows a bit oddly and I see you refer to it as "tab bar" in this sentence too. Any suggestions, maybe just "Tabs menu" would work?

I'd like to call this something with verb, but I find this menu a bit odd and even Manage tabs isn't fully accurate because you can do some actions (access/restore tabs and clear some in batch), but not individual actions :D
Maybe "Tabs menu" would do yes as you suggested. Maybe it's more like a "Tab history" for the current session

Yeah it's a bit of an odd one and tricky to name. Not 100% sure what to call it yet, but I'm sure we can land on something reasonable. I opened an issue for it here so we don't forget at least: elastic/kibana#239420.

One thing that might be missing is that you can clear all tabs and start a new Discover session using the "+" button in the application menu bar. This gets you out of the currently open Discover session if there is one and starts a fresh unsaved session, which manually closing open tabs doesn't. Maybe this is clear from other parts of the docs though, I didn't check.

You're right I didn't think of this and should call this out. I'll add this

It's actually a bit scary that you can flush your current session without a warning if it has unsaved changes. And if it has never been saved in the 1st place, you also don't get the "unsaved changes" warning. That's cold! 😅

Agreed 😬 There are definitely still some rough edges around tab management to work through in post-MVP phases. We at least have the recently closed menu to help recover accidentally lost tabs for now, but still worth refining some of these scenarios.
