# Custom tabs in Frontend Observability

> Caution
> 
> Custom tabs are an experimental feature. Functionality may change as we gather feedback.

Custom tabs let you surface any Grafana dashboard as a tab directly inside a Frontend Observability application. Use them to bring team-specific dashboards such as custom performance views, business metrics, or RUM reports into context without navigating away.

After you configure them, custom tabs appear alongside the built-in navigation tabs (Sessions, Errors, Performance, and so on) for every team member with access to the application.

## Before you begin

- You must have **Editor** or **Admin** organization role, or the **Frontend Observability Editor** or **Frontend Observability Admin** plugin role, to add a custom tab.
- To delete a custom tab, you must have the **Grafana Admin** organization role. Plugin roles, including Frontend Observability Admin, don’t currently grant delete permission for custom tabs.

## Add a custom tab

1. Open **Frontend Observability** in Grafana Cloud and select your application.
2. Navigate to **Settings**.
3. Under **Custom tabs**, enter a **Tab name** and select the target **Grafana dashboard** by name.
4. Click **Create tab**. The tab appears in the application navigation after an automatic refresh.

## Delete a custom tab

Only users with the **Grafana Admin** organization role can delete custom tabs.

1. Open **Frontend Observability** and select your application.
2. Navigate to **Settings > Custom tabs**.
3. Click the delete icon next to the tab you want to remove.
4. Confirm the deletion.
