Why do the tabs go away? Is it a, "You did it, so you can't undo it" thing? That's normally bad. But if it is 'right' in this case, Why not just grey out the tabs they did and vividly highlight the tab they are on?
Guessing a wizzardy step-by-step thing here... A transition normally won't prevent users from being confused if it shouldn't be moving on to new items. If by tabs you mean something like articles in the CMS. Then just blindly moving on the next one is likely a poor choice. Either show a confirmation of what they did with options to move on to a new tab and other things, or stay on the same page and confirm what they did. Users really only get confused when they aren't sure what they did really happened. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
