Introduction

When you "Remove Multiple Tabs", you are performing the action of "Removing a Tab" faster and more efficiently.

To read about how to "Remove a Tab", please read this article.

To read about how to "Import Tabs", please read this article.

Actions

There are 2 ways to "Remove Multiple Tabs". We'll see both here

Salesforce Context Menu

Using Context Menus, you'll be able to massively Remove your favourite Tabs. All the actions which allow you to Remove some Tabs are found following these instructions:

  1. Navigate to a Salesforce Setup page;
  2. Right-click on a favourite Tab;
  3. Move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce;
  4. Move the mourse to Remove tab(s) in the sub-menu.

From here, you'll see the following Context Menu Items.

Other Tabs

Using this option will leave you with only the Tab you've right-clicked on (org-specific Tabs are NOT safe). After this option has been selected, you'll only have 1 Tab saved.

Example

Tabs before: a, @, b, c* (c is org-specific, @ is for another Org) click on "Other Tabs" from b Tabs after: b

Tabs to the Left

Activating this option will remove all tabs that are found on the left of the Tab you've right-clicked on (org-specific Tabs which are for a different Org are safe). Org-specific Tabs for the same Org you're on are NOT safe and will be removed if they happen to be on the left of the Tab clicked.

Example

Tabs before: a, @, b, c* (c is org-specific, @ is for another Org) click on "Tabs to the Left" from b Tabs after: @, b, c*

Tabs to the Right

Same as with "Tabs to the Left" but on the other side.

Example

Tabs before: a, @, b, c* (c is org-specific, @ is for another Org) click on "Tabs to the Right" from b Tabs after: a, @, b

All Visible Tabs

All Tabs which are currently shown will be removed. Tabs which are org-specific for a different Org, will not be affected; when you'll navigate back to that Org, they'll still be available.

Tip

If you do not have any org-specific Tabs for a different Org, the Default Tabs will be shown. This is an expected behaviour.

Example

Tabs before: a, @, b, c* (c is org-specific, @ is for another Org) click on "All Visible Tabs" from b Tabs after: @

Tabs before: a, b, c* (c is org-specific) click on "All Visible Tabs" from b Tabs after: ⚡, Flows, Users

Reset to Default

Use this option to Remove ALL of your favourite Tabs and start fresh from the Default Tabs.

Example

Tabs before: a, @, b, c* (c is org-specific, @ is for another Org) click on "Reset to Default" from b Tabs after: ⚡, Flows, Users

Popup

You may "Remove Multiple Tabs" using an escamotage from the Popup page: during the import process, you have the option to "Overwrite saved tabs". By keeping this option enabled, you'll be able to import any Tabs and Remove the saved ones at the same time.

Tip

You can invoke the import functionality from the Context Menus as well. From Salesforce Setup, click anywhere on the screen (not on a link though) then move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce and click Import Tabs.
