# Close Current Tab

Close Current Tab closes the active browser tab. Use it after verifying a popup or secondary tab when the Flow should continue on a tab that remains open.

## When to use it

* Dismiss a confirmation or receipt tab opened during checkout.
* Clean up extra tabs before the runner moves to the next Test Case.
* Switch to another tab with [Next Tab](/test-steps/browser/next-tab.md) or [Previous Tab](/test-steps/browser/previous-tab.md) first if the Flow should continue elsewhere.

## Configure

### Basics

This step has no required fields. It closes the tab that is currently active.
