Control Console Tab

The Control Console Tab interaction manages a Lightning Console tab or subtab — closing, focusing, refreshing, relabelling, or highlighting it.

Overview

The Control Console Tab interaction lets you manage the user's Lightning Console workspace directly from a component. Use it to close, focus, or refresh a console tab or subtab, apply or remove a custom label, icon, or highlight, and enable or disable the tab's close button.

Important Note: This interaction operates on Lightning Console tabs. It has no effect when the flow runs outside of a Lightning Console app.

Example

Imagine a service console where agents complete a case intake using a screen flow. When the flow finishes, a Control Console Tab interaction can rename the tab to reflect the case status, apply a success highlight, or simply close the tab so the agent can move on to the next case — all without any manual tab management.
