If there is an Excel file you access daily or frequently in Teams, make it a Tab. Before making the document tab, the file must exist in the channel.

Method 1 to make a channel tab
************
Click the plus sign to add a tab
Click or Search for the app you want to make a tab. I used Excel in the video.
Teams will display the file type you selected. If you searched for Word, you will see Word documents, if you searched for Excel, you will see Excel spreadsheets.
Select the file you want to make a tab.
Post to this channel will allow other to quickly find the tab for the 1st time.
Click Save.
