Manage groups

With tab groups, you can easily organize your browser. You can create new groups, classify tabs, and move them between groups and windows to make working as convenient as possible.

In Window tabs, you can find the tabs that you didn't place in any other group.

You can create as many tab groups as you want, although a large number can overload your computer processor and memory.

To enable tab groups:

1. Click   → Settings → Interface.
2. In the Tabs and groups section, enable the Use tab groups option.

In the Tabs and groups section, you can also enable the following options:

• Open external links in the Home group instead of the active tab group. If the option is enabled, when you click links from external applications, for example, from Telegram, Yandex Messenger, or a text editor, the page opens in Window tabs. If the option is disabled, the page opens in the group that's currently active.
• Pin a group when it's created. If the option is enabled, when you create a group, it'll be pinned to the panel.

To restore window tabs and pinned groups in every window after you restart Yandex Browser, enable the Restore tabs and groups at startup option in the settings.

Note. If the Restore tabs and groups at startup option is disabled, the unpinned window tabs aren't restored, but you can find them in your history. The groups are saved in any case: click the icon and you'll see them.

In Yandex Browser, you can open tab groups in any window. To do this, click the icon and select the group.

• So that the rightmost tab group doesn't overlap with the new group, pin it. Then the group opens next to it, not instead of it.
• You can also open a tab group in multiple windows at once. All the changes that you make to the group in one window (for example, delete or open some tabs) are reflected in the other window almost instantly.
• If you close the window, the tab groups are still available in the other window.

• Create a group: In the upper-left corner of the browser, click and select Create tab group. Enter the name of the group. New tabs will open in it.
• Delete a group: Right-click a tab group and select Delete group. The group and the tabs will be deleted.
• Clear a group: Right-click a tab group and select Close group tabs. All tabs in the group will be closed, but the group itself will stay.

• Restore a recently closed group: Сlick  → History and select Group 4 tabs (where 4 is the number of tabs open in the group).

  Note. Only the last 8 closed items (tabs, groups, or windows) can be restored.
• Move a tab: Right-click the tab and select Move tab. You can move it to another group, to a new group, to another window, or to a new window. You can also click a tab and drag it to another group or to another place in the current group.
• Move all group tabs: Right-click a tab group and select Move all tabs to.... You can move all tabs to another group, to a new group, to another window, or to a new window.
• Change the width of the group or tab block: Hover over the separator between groups and tabs and drag it to the right or left.
• View all groups: When all groups don't fit to the left of the separator, the and  icons appear. Use them to scroll right or left to see all groups.
• Open a link in the necessary group: Right-click the link, select Open link in group..., and click the group you want.
• Pin a tab group to the panel: Right-click a tab group and select Pin to panel. You can pin groups that you want always visible. To unpin them, select Unpin from panel.

Right-click the tab group and select Share group. The link to the group will be copied. You can send this link to a friend. When they click it, a list of all sites from the tab group opens.

In Yandex Browser, you can create a copy of the group you received. To do this, click the Add to browser button.

If your friend can't add the group using the the link, ask them to check whether tab groups are enabled in their Yandex Browser:

1. Click   → Settings → Interface.
2. In the Tabs and groups section, enable the Use tab groups option.

1. Click   → Settings → Interface.
2. In the Tabs and groups section, disable the Use tab groups option. The groups will be deleted, and all tabs will be restored outside of the groups.
