But now it does not make sense to spend time on understanding this in exiting UI, as the plan is to do this on new UI. As I am not expert on bootstrap, is bootstrap already has some feature to merge two plugins into one tab? If not, then do you think it is better to consider this point while implementing new UI, so that merging(two plugins into one tab) can be easier wherever required. Or do you think still it make sense to spend some time to understand how can this be done in exiting UI? I hope I make sense to you. Please let me know your input. Or spending some time in current UI implementation on how to merge will be required?
