Tabs stay where you left them

Refresh the brand editor or a student detail page and the tab you were on is still active — no more landing back on the first tab every time the page reloads.

Last updated May 22, 2026

How it works

Switching tabs writes the active tab into the URL as a ?tab= query parameter. Reload, share the link, bookmark it, navigate back from a sub-page — the tab survives all of it. The first tab on each page omits the param (so the URL stays clean for the common case).

Where it’s live

  • Portal → Brand (Templates / Identity / Style / Layout / Advanced).
  • Students → student detail (Overview / Activity / Doubts / Invoices / Messages).
  • Other tabbed surfaces are migrating over the next few releases — same pattern.

Sharing a tab

Copy the URL while on the Style tab and send it to a co-instructor — they land on Style, not on the default. Useful for design review sessions where you don’t want to spend the first 30 seconds saying “click the third tab.”

If you pass an unknown ?tab= value (typo, stale link, removed tab), we silently fall back to the first tab — no error toast.
