These are steps for creating a tab and then adding a field to the tab.

You can edit the Additional Tabs in two ways by either going to the Menu option, Setup > Additional Tabs

Or from the Account List where you will need to click into an Account.

You will need to ensure the Account you are clicking into has the correct Account View you want to add the field too.

When in the Account you will need to click 'Edit This View' -

(Located in the bottom left corner of the screen).

Doing this will give you extra options in the top bar and it will allow the Panels to be edited and removed

Note that these option's will only appear when you are in the Account View.
