This guide fell apart when trying in gimp 3, right clicking the tab icon just shows this

Plus the reference tab options are gone

Hi @13Character5, I think you missed the step where you need to drag the dock out of the sidebar. The tutorial is very clear on that. Once you do that, it all works.

This is GIMP 3.0.6.
