Tabs Set aside.

The Set Aside on my Edge is a very small button on the tabs bar.

I'm not sure you can disable or remove it, but it takes up less space than half a tab.

 

Set aside tabs

Jeez......I couldn't even see it until I got within 3" of the screen. Maybe I should change my color scheme.

Thanks so much for the help........and your patience.
