      </table>

1. From Setup, enter Tabs in the Quick Find box, then select **Tabs**.
2. Click **New** in the Visualforce Tabs related list.
3. Select the Visualforce page to display in the custom tab.
4. Enter a label to display on the tab.
5. Click the Tab Style lookup icon to display the Tab Style Selector.
    
    If a tab style is already in use, a number enclosed in brackets \[\] appears next to the tab style name. Hover your mouse over the style name to view the tabs that use the style. Click Hide styles which are used on other tabs to filter this list.
6. Click a tab style to select the color scheme and icon for the custom tab. Optionally, click **Create your own style** on the Tab Style Selector dialog to create a custom tab style if your org has access to the Documents tab. To create your own tab style:
    1. Click the **Color** lookup icon to display the color selection dialog and click a color to select it.
    2. Click **Insert an Image**, select the document folder, and select the image you want to use.
        
        Alternatively, click **Search in Documents**, enter a search term, and click **Go!** to find a document file name that includes your search term. This dialog only lists files in document folders that are under 20 KB and have the Externally Available checkbox selected in the document property settings. If the document used for the icon is later deleted, Salesforce replaces it with a default multicolor block icon (![Default Block Icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_code-264-0-0-production-enus/789bc523-706b-4ae4-8fe9-be6322e38b6b/extend_code/images/custom24.png)).
    3. Select a file and click **OK**. The New Custom Tab wizard reappears.
7. Optionally, choose a custom link to use as the introductory splash page when users initially click the tab.
8. Enter a description of the tab, if desired, and click **Next**.
9. Choose the user profiles for which the new custom tab will be available.
10. Specify the custom apps that should include the new tab.
11. Select **Append tab to users' existing personal customizations** to add the tab to your users’ customized display settings if they have customized their personal display.
12. Click **Save**.
