# Next Tab

Next Tab activates the tab to the right of the current one in the browser. Use it when a link or action opened a new tab and the Flow should continue there.

## When to use it

* Follow a link that opens in a new tab, then switch to that tab for later steps.
* Move through several open tabs in order during a checkout or admin workflow.
* Pair with [Previous Tab](/test-steps/browser/previous-tab.md) to move between tabs without closing them.

## Configure

### Basics

This step has no required fields. It switches to the next tab in the tab strip.
