# HTML Tabs

Tabs become available as menu items in the Views menu. In P4V, HTML tabs open as tabs in the right pane. P4V handles an HTML tab like any other tab: You can undock it, and P4V remembers the window position. When you re-start P4V, P4V re-opens the tab if it was previously open.

To add a custom tab:

1. Go to Tools > Manage Tools > HTML Tabs.
2. In the Manage HTML Tabs dialog, click New and select Tab.

3. In the Add HTML Tab dialog, provide the following information:

   - Name: The name of the menu item
   - Placement: The placement of the new page in the View menu. By default, the highest level (HTML Tabs) is selected. You can select a subfolder, if available, or create a new folder.
   - URL: The location of the HTML file
   - Image: The icon used in the menu and the tab header
4. Under HTML Page context menus, select any options you want to appear when you right-click (Windows) or context-click (Mac) a page.
5. Click OK.

For P4 Admin, opened HTML Tabs are not saved and restored, but the user can open the tabs again.
