Allow moving a tab between channels
Allow moving any tab, besides files and conversation, between channels in a group. On top of being able to dragging tabs to rearrange them in a channel, allow us to drag the tab to a different channel altogether. If any conversation topics at about items in that tab, it would be nice to have those seamlessly migrate to the new channel as well.
For bonus points: Allow moving a tab between groups, in the event a group needs to be 'discontinued' without losing the data.

Thank you for your comments and votes. While there is no status change, we did want to share that the feature is still being considered and remains under review.

I can't believe this feature isn't available! A very basic need.

My Team (Legal & Governance) have vast amounts of data in Tabs. It would take obscene amounts of time and resources to redo this. Microsoft, please action this important Task!
EDIT: I am frankly terrified that this request was first mooted in 2017(!) and has not yet been taken up.

Hi,
Is there any update on this task? Is this feature still being considered?
Thanks -

The fact that this basic function has to be upvoted in order to be developed clearly demonstrates what a half-baked sorry-*** makeshift prototype sold as a product Teams is (not the only one).
Of course this is essential and anyone with working brains can imagine the frustration when you worked on something, then there is a change, organisational or otherwise (maybe something like this sometimes happens even at Microsoft), you'll have to copy-paste an elaborate structure as opposed to simply click and move. -

My team did a lot of work on a whiteboard in one channel and I needed to create a new channel for the larger topic - hate having to bring it in as a PNG or leave it where it is. Seems really odd not to be able to drag tabs around. Thanks!

This is absolutely necessary and should be part of the features.

This needs to be sorted. We have all grown with Teams and being able to move channels between teams and merge teams to make them a channel is critical to help organisations as they grow.

This is really essential feature. Once participation in the Team starts growing, additional channels are usually added to improve clarity. At that point it is necessary to sort tabs from General channel into other Team's channels.

It would be very helpful to be able to move tabs without data loss... Hope you can work on it soon!

Please add this functionality. Being able to organize and re-organize channels within a team as the requirements and project change and evolve is essential to the ease of use and adoption of the tool.

Given you can't make a team private once it's setup having the ability to move tabs between channels (and ideally teams!) is a very important one.

Just wanted to add my vote to the importance of this feature.
Once a channel start growing you see the benefit of splitting the tabs into different channels. -
