FAQ

What are tabs?

Tabs are a common UI/UX pattern that can help reduce or condense the amount of information presented to users.

They are a set of layered sections of content with interactive headings that each contain a title, content snippet, or thumbnail representing a section of content. The headings function as controls that enable users to reveal their associated sections of content. Tabs are commonly used to reduce the need to scroll when presenting multiple sections of content on a single page.

The term stems from tabs on file folders in a filing cabinet that are used for separation and organization.

To learn more, see Tabs Pattern.
