  Streamline your Salesforce Setup navigation with custom, color-coded tabs for quick access to frequently used settings. Perfect for Salesforce admins and developers who want to optimize their workflow and save time navigating between different setup pages.
  
  Want to be more productive in Salesforce Setup? This extension helps you:
  
  🔖 Create custom tabs that appear next to Object Manager in the Salesforce Setup
  ⚡Lightning navigation - no page reloads if it is a Setup page => navigate super fast
  ➕ Store the current page as a tab with a single click
  ↕️ Drag and drop tabs to reorder them as needed
  🗑️ Quickly delete unwanted tabs from the popup interface
  🎨 Color-code tabs for better visual organization and quick recognition
  🔄️ Reset colors button - make all tabs in white with one click
  🗂️ Access object-specific items with an optional dropdown menu for each object
  🔗 Open links in the same or new browser tab
  📋 Handle tab overflow with a "More" dropdown menu
  📌 Assign your tabs to specific organizations: set up different navigation shortcuts for production, sandbox, and developer orgs, or apply tabs across all instances
  💾 Save your custom tab configuration across sessions
  
  How to Get Started?
  🔑 Just a Few Simple Steps:
  
  1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Navigate to any Salesforce Setup page.
  3. Click the extension icon or the "+" button next to Object Manager to open the tab settings popup.
  4. Enter a name for your tab and either a relative URL (starting with /lightning/) for internal links or a full URL for external links (e.g., https://developer.salesforce.com, www.developer.salesforce.com, or developer.salesforce.com — all formats are supported). Both name and URL are required to save a new tab.
  5. Check "New Tab" if you want the link to always open in a new browser tab.
  6. Customize the tab color using the color picker, or leave it white.
  7. If your link contains a Salesforce object, the "Add Menu" checkbox will be checked by default. This will create a dropdown menu with object-specific links next to the tab name. Uncheck it if not needed.
  8. Click the Save button in the top right corner. New tabs won't be saved if the popup is closed without saving.
  9. Drag and drop tabs to reorder them, either in the popup window or directly on the tab bar.
  10. If you want to transfer your tabs to another device or account, first click Export tabs button, and it will save a json file with your tabs to Downloads. Then install this extension on the new device/account, click Import tabs button and choose the json file exported previously.
  11. You're all set!
