Google Docs Tab Feature

Google docs recently introduced document Tabs, which causes documents to merge with an
extra page that says “Tab 1”

When you create a new Google doc, it will not add the tab feature by default; however, once the Tab feature is added to the Google doc it will change the page type and you cannot change it back.

You can check whether Tabs are enabled by going to File>Page Setup under “Pages”, it should say “Whole Document”. When you click on the Add tabs feature, it enables the feature.

If you accidentally enable the feature, you will need to create a whole new Google doc and copy all the text to the new document. Then you will need to update your Sharing settings and add it to the Document Action.Template ID.
