For one, the Panes panel allows you to open multiple tabs, each hosting a Console, VNC, or PCAP session. You can also choose how you want to host tabs: in only one pane or across multiple. For instance, you can have one pane containing an open console session while another runs a packet capture.</span></p> <p>What to keep in mind when using the Panes panel:</p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">One single pane is set by default, but you can add others by selecting the “+” icon. </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">If you have more than one pane, you will see one pane highlighted with a blue square, which indicates it will be the target for any new sessions you open.
