Tie Separate Tabs

You can tie two or more separate tabs to scroll together; when the text in one tab is scrolled, the text in the other moves to display the matching verse references.

Note

By default, all panes

Only tabs whose contents are listed by verse reference can be tied to each other. Thus any Search, Reference List, User Notes,Tool, and Text tabs can be tied, as well as Reference tools such as commentaries and text notes. The other tabs scroll to match the first verse in the activeClosed The application, window, tab, or other screen element which is currently being used; sometimes called the "front" or "frontmost" screen element tab.
