   **Description**

The "Switch Tab Focus" command brings a specific tab into focus during automation. This is particularly useful when your automation involves multiple tabs performing different processes and you need to concentrate on a specific one. For instance, you may want to refocus on the main tab—the one from which other tabs were opened. Another example is handling alerts or pop-ups that appear in the main tab, requiring you to keep it in focus to ensure proper interaction.    ******How to configure and use this Custom Command**** :**

1. Name the command with a meaningful name.
2. Add the tab ID between the {{}} symbols, the ID is the exact name of a GO TO URL command that you could add to go to a specific URL.
3. Choose what you would like RTILA to do in case of an error.
