Export Tabs

Introduction

To "Export a Tab" means to create a .json file which contains all your favourite Tabs. This file may be shared with colleagues and friends so that they may import your Tabs.

Actions

There are 3 ways to launch the Export function and all of them require you to be on a Salesforce Setup page.

Where	What
Popup	Open the Popup and click on the Export button.
Context Menu	Right-click anywhere on the page (not on a link though); move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce and click Export Tabs.
Keyboard Shortcut	Perform the keyboard shortcut linked to the Export function (default: Alt+Shift+X; MacOS default: Option+Shift+X)

For browsers other than Safari, if you have never used this function, the extension needs to be granted the downloads permission. A toast message will ask you to open the popup so that the permission can be requested. After you grant the permission, please launch the export function again.

You may also grant the permission from the Settings page

When the extension has the downloads permission available, launching the export function will generate the Export modal from which you can select the Tabs you want to export (or keep them all selected). To generate the .json file, click on the Export button and the download will start in a few seconds.
