When a saved Discover session with multiple tabs is added to a dashboard, editors can now choose which tab to display in each panel. For by-reference panels, the Edit action opens inline editing (similar to Markdown panels) where users can switch tabs and adjust columns, then Apply or Discard changes. Improved error handling shows warnings instead of blocking errors when a selected tab or its data view no longer exists.

After the PR, when a Discover session with tabs is added to a dashboard, users can select which tab to display in each panel. The page should document how to choose and change the displayed tab for by-reference panels using the new inline editing workflow.

Describes Edit visualization opening the editor. For Discover session panels, mentions View Discover session interaction. Does not mention inline editing for by-reference Discover panels.
For by-reference Discover session panels, the Edit action now opens inline editing (not Discover) where users can switch tabs and adjust columns, then Apply or Discard. This behavioral change for by-reference vs by-value panels should be documented.
