whats the difference between UpdateTabModuleSetting and UpdateModuleSettings?

Dim objModules As New Entities.Modules.ModuleController
               
objModules.UpdateTabModuleSetting(TabModuleId, "template", txtTemplate.Text)

objModules.UpdateModuleSetting(ModuleId, "template", txtTemplate.Text)

I know the first method update the table TabModuleSetting with the TabModuleId,not moduleId
and the second method UpdateModuleSetting update the table ModuleSetting with the ModuleId.

when i can use the method UpdateTabModuleSetting or UpdateModuleSetting,whats the difference between of those?
thanks

anyone can tell me whats the difference between TabModules and Modules?
If i add one module,will the DNN add the module into TabModules first,then add it into modules?
thanks

• DesktopModules are representing installed modules in your DNN installation including Description and features
• ModuleDefinitions lists the entries in the available modules dropdown list, huge module may have more than one (Repository, Store)
• PortalDesktopModules list all premium modules available per portal
• Modules list all module instances placed in a portal on any site
• TabBodule list all moduleReferences between pages (formerly named tabs) and Modules

When you install a module in your installation, an entry into DesktopModules with assotiated ModuleDefinition(s) and ModuleControls is created.

If you set a module premium and assign it to a portal, an entry into PortalDesktopModules is created.

When you place a new module on a page, both an entry into Modules and TabModules is created (related to module definitions).
