How do i add a panel to a particular group?

[badmonster0]

[export const ResourcePanel = ({ ...props }) => {
const panelParams = props.params;

const [panelId, setPanelId] = useState(panelParams.panelId);
return (
    <PanelContext.Provider value={{ panelId, setPanelId }}>
        <Resource nodeId={panelParams.resourceId} viewSize={"L"} redirectMode="live" />
    </PanelContext.Provider>
);

}

I tried this and it always adds it to a new group, but not the same group as the reference panel.

Do you the full example of the code you are trying? The approaches to adding panels to particular groups described here should work just fine

Here is an example, how do i add "Panel 4" to the same group as "Panel 1" explicitly?

I tried

   event.api.addPanel({
      id: "panel_4",
      component: "default",
      params: { color: "red" },
      position: { referencePanel: "panel_1", direction: "right" }
    });

and 

   event.api.addPanel({
      id: "panel_4",
      component: "default",
      params: { color: "red" },
      position: { referenceGroup: "panel_1", direction: "right" }
    });
    ```
    as the document, both of them add a new group and position that to panel1's group.

Should i use "within"? (btw where do i find the documentation for meanings of all directions?)

I am also interested in this behavior. Is there any update?

Specifying the direction: "within" or not including a direction field should both result in the new panel being added with the referenceGroup or referencePanel
