Terminal tabs provide command-line access to containers in your lab. They’re essential for hands-on tasks that require users to run commands, edit files, or interact with services.

Creating a Terminal Tab

To create a terminal tab:

1. Navigate to the Tabs section in your lab editor
2. Click Add Tab and select Terminal from the dropdown
3. Configure the terminal settings
