→The split-screen Sidebar & Bottombar
Each of these split screens is a container of stacked Gramplet tabs. Like Windows with a tabbed section, each can show only a single tab at a time. But tabs can be added, re-ordered, undocked or disabled in a similar fashion to the Dashboard. However, instead of a Contextual Menu, each split-pane {{man menu|[[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Main_Window#Gramplet_Bar_Menu|Gramplet Bar Menu]]}} has a ''Down Arrowhead'' {{man button|∨}} pull-down menu button to show the same pop-up list of options.
To add a Gramplet to the stack stacked tabs, select it from the {{man menu|Gramplet Bar Menu ->{{man button|∨}} Add a gramplet}} submenu.
<span id="undock gramplet">To undock a tab, grab the tab title and drag out of the split-pane. To re-dock, click the Close button or the 'X' button.</span>
To remove the Gramplet from the stack tabs, select it from the {{man menu|Gramplet Bar Menu ->{{man button|∨}} Remove a gramplet}} submenu or click . (Alternatively, the tab's 'X' {{man button|×}} Close button. (The 'X' is only will be accessible when if the 'Show close button in gramplet tabs' checkbox in the [[Gramps_5.1_Wiki_Manual_-_Settings#Display|Display ]] tab of Preferences is selected.)
Curiously, the same Gramplets might be tabs in the different split-screen section of a View but be configured to show information differently. It is important to be aware that each Gramplet (whether stacked as a Tab or floating undocked) bogs down performance of Gramps. Use fewer Gramplets to make Gramps more responsive.
