I’m trying to create a Tab in a google doc via the python SDK (as in the new(ish) side navigation/anizational tabs, not a tab character). I see how to read and update existing tabs, but don't see any mention of how to create a tab (or any callouts on that being a pending feature). Is it supported and just not well documented yet, or are Tabs new enough that this feature doesn't exist yet?

Searched documentation and couldn't find anything related to creating tabs:

Searched documentation and couldn't find anything related to creating tabs:

• https://developers.google/docs/api/how-tos/tabs

• https://developers.google/docs/api/reference/rest/v1/documents/request

• python
• google-workspace
• google-docs-api

• I think that unfortunately, in the current stage, a new tab cannot be created for Google Documents by Google Docs API and Document service (DocumentApp for Google Apps Script). So, how about suggesting it to the Google issue tracker as a future request? Ref – Tanaike Commented Mar 20 at 1:57
