+**Discover** supports multiple tabs to help you explore different aspects of your data simultaneously. Each tab maintains its own independent state, including the query ({{esql}} or KQL), time range, filters, selected data source, columns and sort order your defined, and the active [context-aware experience](#context-aware-discover).
+
+This allows you to pivot quickly between different explorations without rebuilding everything. For example:
+
+* **Compare time periods:** Open multiple tabs with the same query but different time ranges
+* **Test query variations:** Duplicate a tab to experiment with different {{esql}} queries or filters
+* **Switch contexts:** Keep separate tabs for logs, metrics, and traces exploration
+* **Test an hypothesis:** Switch between different data sources or field combinations
+
+#### Manage Discover tabs
+
+You can open new tabs or duplicate existing ones to compare different queries:
+- To start a fresh exploration in a new tab, select the {icon}`plus` icon next to existing tabs.
+- To test variations of your current query in a new tab, hover over a tab and select the {icon}`boxes_vertical` **Actions** icon, then select **Duplicate**.
+
+To manage and organize your tabs as you need, you can: 
+- Rename them: Hover over a tab and select the {icon}`boxes_vertical` **Actions** icon, then select **Rename**.
+- Reorder them: Drag and drop tabs as you choose.
+- 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 inconclusive explorations in 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.
+
+::::{tip}
+Tab state persists when you save a Discover session, so you can resume multi-tab explorations later.
