Tabs in the right panel allow you to easily switch between data sources as you configure your report. Each data source you add occupies its own tab, numbered serially as they are added. A joined dataset occupies its own tab, and displays the data source numbers involved in the join, for example DS1 + DS2.
The tab of the active data source is white, as shown in this example:

The Data Preview table responds to the data source tab you are on, the joined datasets you create, or the attribute and filter selections you make (in the right panel) for the active data source.
