You can only manipulate one plane at a time (the current plane), but it is
possible to link section planes together to form slices.
The following table illustrates how the sectioning gizmos work with the section
planes.

Perpendicular arms and faces move the
current plane and the gizmo. Parallel arms
and face move only the gizmo.
