Right now if you double click the tabs they will collapse/expand. We have a nicer “floating” version in the works.

Talking about this, I think the plugins tab needs some work and they are the only reason I can’t use this :(( Another thing, what can I really add in custom tabs?
Another thing that annoys me is that the Material icon opens the Material Manager window instead of that tiny drop down window.
the json i used was inside of the customtabs directory
Hmm. Alright, thank you I suppose. I wish it was a schema so I could validate it better but I suppose writing one is a low priority, haha.

Oh sorry I misunderstood. I took your JSON and it works for me. We did rollback Windows Studio from v650 to v649 over the weekend (for an unrelated issue). I wonder if that’s the problem?
also another question of mine is there any document or something with the list of the built in gui stuff? aka the studioURI or whatever it is inside the luau document you sent 
thanks
EDIT: Nevermind! i managed to find out for myself in the files! heres a devfourm post of my findings

This is great news to me, however, I have a few more stuff I want to hide such as “Collaborate” and the Assistant Button, will that be possible with the “Manage Tabs” UI?
If this releases, please keep the original ui as an option for those who like it still.
Hey uh how would we add the plugins into the tabs sinec i cant find out how to add my own plugin buttons into the tab or if anybody else knows how please let me know since we need likke a document going over it
EDIT: nvm i forgot to update the plugin in my plugins

This explains it well:
Technically, it’s possible with the new UI system! But I don’t think Manage Tabs would be the right entry point for it. We’ll think on this a bit.

So tabs are still getting worked on, will the plugin tab ever get some love, is it quite broken still, make moving over hard to do, i wanna like the new ui but cant yet.
Good stuff!! Goood stuff!! Love the things y’all are doing with this new studio UI!
I made this tab
{
"Name": "Test Tab",
"Controls": [
{
"Id": "SelectButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Select",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "MoveButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Move",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "ScaleButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Scale",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "RotateButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Rotate",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "TransformButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Transform",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "PartButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Part",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "MaterialButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Material",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "GroupButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Group",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "UnionButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Union",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "IntersectButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Intersect",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "SeparateButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Separate",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
{
"Id": "NegateButton",
"Type": "IconButton",
"Action": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Negate",
"Category": "Tools"
}
}
]
}
But the thing is only some of the buttons appear.
I also get this warn in console
04:42:02.725 ▶ Cannot bind to action DataModel:Standalone, PluginId:BuilderTools, Category:Actions, ItemId:Part that does not exist (x3) - Standalone
Yes we’ve made minor improvements here with nicer grouping and reliable sorting. But I’d like to hear more specifically what you’re looking for.
You’ve got several weird controls in there. I don’t see "ItemId" : "Part" in my actions or the default ribbon tabs. I would use:
{
"Type": "SplitButton",
"Id": "Part",
"ShowSettingOptions": true,
"Setting": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "PartShape",
"Category": "Settings"
},
"DefaultAction": {
"PluginId": "BuilderTools",
"DataModel": "Standalone",
"ItemId": "Insert/Block",
"Category": "Actions"
}
},
OK there’s a whole bunch of weird ones so I just fixed them all. Double check the OP on how to dump your available actions to a text file and copy the “Uri” over to “Actions” (If the write-up is wrong or confusing, let me know!)

Can we have the drop downs back, plugins with a good bit of buttons can end up taking the entire toolbar, example being NWSpacek’s coaster plugin, or Stravant’s Resize Align plugin and its family use one main base, with each plugin making its own button, having them bunch up was great
Along with, the 3 dots on the far right do not have a scroll list, so i lose the ability to see most of my plugins i have added, i understand this is a beta but I do hope this doesnt sneak through especially, perhaps a proper way of the little arrows we have in the old ui, that doesnt break randomly.

Alright thank you I will make sure it works how I want it.
Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to copy commonly used code and paste it easily with tabs.
For example, if I have a module in which I commonly use would I be able to paste the module’s code with a click of a button?
Also, would I be able to add my own function to the buttons which runs when pressed that may edit text inside of the script?
For example, I pressed a button and then it deletes the highlighted code.
Another example, I pressed a button and then it turns all addition symbols into subtraction.
