At present, the platform has 80 flow and needs to optimize the flow management panel  
Problem:  
1、Slow opening speed  
2、There is no hierarchy in management

Hope for improvement:

Add close button to each tab  
flow can be saved and opened through catalog  
Reference example:

That is not Node-RED - what software are you using?

The screenshot is a reference for how other apps do it.

@cmdares when you raised this on the GitHub issue list I asked you to search the the forum for where this has been discussed at length before. Have you done so?

Thank you for your attention.  
old topic: [Flow multi-level management](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/flow-multi-level-management/22650)  
I have asked similar questions before, but I didn't express them clearly, so I created a new one and described it as carefully as possible. As I said, a large number of flows need to be managed more reasonably.  
I hope my suggestion can be adopted.  
Thanks!
