How to link to a specific tab in a Deck of Cards on another page

Purpose

When the History parameter is enabled on the Deck of Cards macro, the URL does not appear to remain static, and will end up pointing to a different tab, especially if a user has been looking at other tabs on the page.

[text]

As such, you will need to update the link, by clicking Edit.

Open

Then, update the address field with the complete URL:

This should direct the user to the specified tab.
