How do I add a tab to my workspace?

  1. Click + (Add a tab) at the start of the rail, or press T.
  2. The panel opens with a Search tabs box and groups:
    • Orderbook and flow: Orderbook, Trades, Liquidations, Orderbook Heatmap.
    • Charts and analysis: Charts, Heatmap, Hyperliquid Whale Tracker.
    • Market data: Watchlist, Fear & Greed, Coin Info.
    • News and events: News, Calendar, YouTube, Market Clock.
    • Tools: Alerts, Cards (a list of card providers, not a canvas tab).
  3. Hover an entry. The preview card shows what the tab does, Ready-made presets (coins and exchanges already chosen), Why it helps, a link to the help page of that tab and an Add button.
  4. Click the tab, or its Add button. It lands on the canvas, ready to move.

Presets exist on Orderbook, Trades, Liquidations, Orderbook Heatmap, Charts and Hyperliquid Whale Tracker.
