Preview in Monterey seems to no longer support tabs. At least on my Macs.

As there are no Preview preferences settings to open all PDF files in one window, or in n-tuple tabs, when you open those PDF, you can get them to individual tabs with Merge All Windows, as you have mentioned. However, it is not a permanent setting, nor automatically forces additional PDF documents into separate tabs. That requires another invocation of Merge All Windows to get the new PDF into their respective tabs.


This is not a new feature of Monterey as it has existed previously.
