The trailing tab section for tab views is discussed in the session titled "Elevate your tab and sidebar experience in iPadOS" from WWDC 2024. In this session, it is explained that items in the tab bar can be customized through drag and drop, and the tab bar contains three sections: the fixed section, the customizable section, and the pinned section. The pinned section is always available at the trailing edge of the tab bar, which is particularly useful for features like search that need to be readily accessible.
For more details, you can refer to the session Elevate your tab and sidebar experience in iPadOS (06:20).
