Methods for Workspace Tabs and Subtabs in Lightning Experience
A Lightning console app
displays Salesforce pages as workspace
tabs or subtabs. A workspace tab displays the main work item or record, such as an account.
A subtab displays related records, such as an account’s contacts or
opportunities.
These methods work with workspace tabs and subtabs in Lightning console apps.
