Tabbed Buttons & Cards Question

[Sarah]

Hi Jim,

Here are a couple of ideas:
You could make the navigation tabs into a separate palette so that they 
were always visible no matter what stack you had open.
OR
You could use different cards in the same stack instead of different 
stacks. Then if you group your tabbed button and set it's 
backgroundBehavior to true, it can be placed on all the cards in that 
stack.

Cheers,
Sarah
