By using the Workspace API, you can, for example, close one of the tabs.

```javascript
import { LightningElement, wire } from 'lwc';
import {
    IsConsoleNavigation,
    getFocusedTabInfo,
    closeTab
} from 'lightning/platformWorkspaceApi';

export default class TabController extends LightningElement {
    @wire(IsConsoleNavigation) isConsoleNavigation;

    closeHome() {
        if (this.isConsoleNavigation) {
            getFocusedTabInfo().then((tabInfo) => {
                closeTab(tabInfo.tabId);
            });
        }
    }
}
```

You can also focus, open new tab or refresh tab. Check link in post to learn more!
