Save a Tab

Introduction

To "Add a Tab" or to "Favorite a Tab" means to Save a particular page in the extension.

To read about what constitutes a Tab, please read this article.

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

Actions

There are multiple ways to add a Tab so we'll go over this starting from the Popup and moving on to what is available in the Salesforce page.

Popup

In the Popup page, you'll see all the already saved Tabs (if you haven't set up any of them yet, you'll still find 3 default Tabs ready for you to try) and at the bottom of the list, you should see a row with grayed-out boxes (input fields) with some placeholder text.

Simply click on those boxes and insert the Label of the Tab in the box on the left and the URL to which you want to be redirected in the box on the right. Now, to Save the Tab you've written, simply click anywhere else inside the Popup. You should see a message on the screen telling you that the Tabs have been saved correctly.

Example

You could write Flows in the box on the left (which will be your Label) and Flows/home in the box on the right (which will be your URL); then click near the sun/moon at the top and have your Tabs saved!

Tip

The URL input field has a trick up its sleeve! Try pasting a full URL instead of writing everything!

Salesforce

As mentioned before, all the saved Tabs are shown in the blank space at the top of the Salesforce Setup page, but this is only where you can find them. To save a Tab without using the Popup, you can click on the light-blue Star found at the top-right of the inner page (at the right of the title of the page). The Star is not shown for Home and Object Manager because they're always shown even without this extension. Once you've clicked the Star, the Tab is automatically added at the end of your list and is ready to be used.

Tip

You may save any Salesforce Setup page, even ones which correlate to a Custom Field or a specific Custom Metadata. These Tabs are known as org-specific Tabs and are shown in bold in Salesforce and with a checkbox in the Popup.

Context Menu

When you're on a page you'd like to save, right-click anywhere on the screen (not on a link though) then move your mouse to Again, Why Salesforce and click Save as tab in the sub-menu.

Keyboard Shortcut

When you're on a page you'd like to remove, perform the keyboared shortcut linked to the Save Tab function (default: Alt+Shift+P; MacOS default: Option+Shift+P). You should see a message on the screen telling you that the Tabs have been saved correctly.
