It is now possible in VSC to drag/drop Panels and Views and make it possible to get multiple Panels side-by-side.

I was not able to find any reference on it in the doc but have read in the release notes and on SO_1 and SO_2

I had to play with it and found that you drag/drop the non-current panel and make it a vertical split of the current Panel

Can we have some doc for this nice feature
