Step 1 — Run the Scan

Click the "Validate Managed Addons & Tabs" button in SUPERTABs Preferences.

💡 What it does: SUPERTABs goes through every Tab Group and checks whether the add-ons and tabs you saved are still installed and enabled in Blender right now.

After the scan, look at the Tab-group and Addon/Tabs (items):

Step 2 — Understand the Problem List

If the scanner finds issues, a Validation Details popover will appear. It splits all problems into two clear lists:

🔴 Disabled Add-ons

These are add-ons that are installed on your computer but currently disabled (unchecked in Blender Preferences).

🔴 Missing Tabs

These are tab labels that no longer exist — usually because the add-on that created them was deleted from Blender entirely.

Step 3 — Fix the Issues

You have 3 ways to clean up:

Option A — Remove One Item (Trash Icon)

Click the trash icon next to a specific item to remove only that one broken link from your group.

Use this when you only want to remove certain items and keep others.
