How to close browser tabs (safely)

Help
1

Hello guys,

I have a main page, which has links. I want to klick on those links, open new tabs and then close these tabs again. But I dont want to close the main page.
If I would do it with a shortkeys, there is always a risk that IE will not get it and doesn’t close the current tab.
In addition to that, sometimes IE does not open a new tab, so with a short key I would close my main page.
How can I make sure, that this process works 100%?

Thank you very much

Hi @rpaNewbie,

you can use Ctrl+W to close current tab

if you want to close 2 tab alone
Ctrl+2w
if you want to close 3 tab alone
Ctrl+3w

Hey @arivu96

my Problem is, that when I dont have a second tab, because it did not open the link, I will close my main page.
As far as I can see, Ctrl+2w closes the first tab, when there is no second one.

In short here is what I want.

Case 1: 2 or more tabs open
Close all tabs but the first one

Case 2: Only my main page open
Dont close any tab

Hey there,
Use close Tab activity.
First use attached browser activity(trick is to attach proper selector) which returns browser variable as output that can be used as input to the close tab.

using CTRL+9 it will go to the last tab and use Ctrl+w
like wise you can close other tabs. for more information refer below post.
