Multimounting

UI Labs allows you to mount multiple stories at the same time, even of the same module.
This is useful for creating drafts with separated components, or compare different stories.

Each of these stories will have their own environment, and will not interact with each other. They will also update changes independently.

To do this, Right Click your story and select Mount On Top

Now we have two stories mounted, you will see two tabs on top, a number at the side of the story will tell you how many of them are mounted. The ZIndex will be determined by the order of the tabs.

When you Left Click a story as you would normally do, This will be mounted in the Main Tab.
This will also unmount the current Main tab.

The Main Tab will have small dot • at the start
