How to add Tabs (Pages) to only a specific section of a form?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to organize a form using Tabs (Pages), but I’m running into some confusion with how Quickbase handles them.Previously, I was able to add new sections below existing ones without issues. However, when I try to add a new Page (Tab), Quickbase automatically moves all my existing fields into Page 1 and puts the new fields on Page 2. The tabs also always appear at the very top of the form. What I actually want is to have tabs (or a tab-like experience) applied to only a specific section lower down in the form, without wrapping the entire form into multiple pages. Is there a way to achieve this? Or what is the recommended approach — using multiple Pages, Sections with rules, or a completely different method?
Any advice or best practices would be greatly appreciated! 
Thanks in advance.

    You can create sections that remain visible across all tabs. This means the tabs will only affect the sections displayed below those pinned areas.

    To do this, open the form editor. Click the Add Pages button on the bottom‑left, then scroll back to the top of the form and select Add Pinned Section.
