Tab settings specify whether a tab is visible in its associated app. They also determine whether a tab appears in the All Tabs page in Salesforce Classic and whether objects appear in the Lightning Experience App Launcher and navigation menus. Tab settings labels in permission sets differ from the labels in profiles.

| Available and Visible | Default On | The tab appears in an app’s navigation bar. The tab is also available in the App Launcher in Lightning Experience and on the All Tabs page in Salesforce Classic. Individual users can customize their display to hide the tab or make it visible in other apps. |
| None | Tab Hidden | The tab isn’t available in the App Launcher or the All Tabs page, isn’t visible in any app navigation, and is excluded from API responses. |
If a user has another permission set or profile with enabled settings for the same tab, the most permissive setting applies. For example, let’s say permission set A has no settings enabled for the Accounts tab and permission set B enables the Available setting for the Accounts tab. If permission sets A and B are assigned to a user, the user sees the Accounts tab on the All Tabs page.
