Manage your chat layout

Manage your chat layout by using tabs, workspaces and pinned chats

Symphony tabs work like an internet browser. You can open multiple chats in one or more tabs and quickly switch between conversations:

  • Open up to 12 tabs with no limit on the number of chats in each tab.
  • Drag and drop individual chats to place them in a position of your choice.
  • Drag and drop tabs to place them in a position of your choice.

Note: Whilst there is no limit on the number of chats in each tab, a scroll bar will appear after a certain number of chats dependent on your screen size.

Manage your chat layout by selecting a single chat to open it in a tab, or drag and drop more chats to arrange them in a grid (Figure 1 and Figure 2):

Note: Drop targets are highlighted in blue when you drag a chat over them.

You can drag and drop chats to swap their positions in the grid with several different grid layouts available to select. Additionally, tabs can be named, saved and re-opened as workspaces when you need to and individual chats within a workspace can also be managed with drag and drop (Figure 3):

Workspaces themselves and extension apps can also be managed with drag and drop (Figure 4):

Additionally, important chats can be pinned so they are not automatically closed when another chat is opened. Pin a chat by hovering over the left corner of a chat and selecting the pin icon (Figure 5):

Chats can be unpinned by selecting the icon again (Figure 6):
