2 task pane open when clicking on 2 buttons from ribbon in office 365 word add in

I have 2 buttons on the ribbon in Office 365 word addin.

...
<Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">                        
   <TaskpaneId>button1</TaskpaneId>
   <SourceLocation resid="myURL" /> // ~remoteURL/pages/text.html?seacrhtype=1
</Action>
...

..
<Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">                        
   <TaskpaneId>button2</TaskpaneId>
   <SourceLocation resid="MyURL.Url" /> //// ~remoteURL/pages/text.html?seacrhtype=2
</Action>
..

I open the same html page and pass query param based on which ribbon's button click.

The issue which I am facing is that when I click on a button1, it opens a task pane.

If I click on button2, it opens another task pane without hiding/closing the first task pane which already opened so I have 2 task pane on the same word page.

Is there any way so at a time, only one task will be open? If I click on a different button then only that related taskpane will open and work.

How can I hide the first task pane when I click on the second button and vice versa?

Thanks in advance

The closeContainer method closes the UI container where the JavaScript is executing. The behavior of this method is specified by the following:

  • Called from a UI-less command button: No effect. Any dialog opened by displayDialogAsync will remain open.
  • Called from a task pane: The task pane will close. Any dialog opened by displayDialogAsync will also close. If the task pane supports pinning and was pinned by the user, it will be un-pinned.
  • Called from a module extension: No effect.
