+<title>Add and remove tabs</title>
+<p>Working with tabs in <app>gedit</app> allows you to keep an eye on several files in a single window. Tabs in <app>gedit</app> behave similarly to tabs in other programs such as web browsers.  When you start <app>gedit</app>, a single tab will be displayed above the contents of the current file.</p>
+
+<p>Tabs indicate the files you currently have open to work on. The tab that is larger than the other tabs indicates the file that is currently open. The smaller tabs indicate other files that are available to work on.</p>
+<!--<p>add figure tags also<media type="image" mime="" src=""/></p>-->
+
+<p>To view the contents of a specific tab, click the tab itself. The contents of the file will be displayed below the currently open tabs. Clicking the <guiseq><gui>X</gui></guiseq> on the side of the tab will close it, removing it from the list of available tabs.</p>
+
+<p>Add a screenshot to the page to demonstrate tabs? Maybe a before and after picture?</p>
+
+<section>
+  <title>Adding tabs</title>
+    <p>To add a new tab, create a new file with <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>N</key></keyseq>. The tab will be added to the right side of any other tabs.</p>
+</section>
+
+<section>
+  <title>Removing tabs</title>
+  <p>To remove a tab, click the <guiseq><gui>X</gui></guiseq> on the tab's right side. Or, to remove all open tabs, press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>Shift</key><key>W</key></keyseq></p>

+<section>
+  <title>Organizing tabs:</title>
+  <p>There are several different ways to organize your tabs in <app>gedit</app>.</p>
+
+  <p>To drag a tab into a new window:</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>Click and hold the mouse button on the tab</p></item>
+    <item><p>Drag the tab out of the space it occupies</p></item>
+    <item><p>Release the mouse button</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+  <p>or, while the tab to be moved is open, choose <guiseq><gui>Documents</gui><gui>Move to New Window</gui></guiseq></p>
+
+  <note style="tip">
+    <p>It's difficult to drag a tab into a new window when either the old or new window is maximized. For best results, un-maximize the windows before dragging the 
+    tab.</p>
+  </note>
+
+  <p>If you want to move a tab from one window to another:</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>Click and hold the mouse button on the tab</p></item>
+    <item><p>Drag the tab to the new window</p></item>
+    <item><p>Place it beside other tabs in the new window</p></item>
+    <item><p>Release the mouse button</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+  <p>To change the ordering of tabs in a window:</p>
+
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>Click and hold the mouse button on the tab</p></item>
+    <item><p>Move the tab to the desired position among the other tabs</p></item>
+    <item><p>Release the mouse button</p></item>
+  </steps>
+
+  <p>The tab will be placed in the position closest to where you release the tab, immediately beside other opened tabs.</p>
 
+  <p>See <link xref="gedit-shortcut-keys#gedit-tab-shortcuts"/> for shortcuts to make managing your tabs more quick.</p>
