The Tab Component allows you to present multiple content sections in a space-saving way on a single page. Content is divided into individual tabs that users can switch between without leaving the page.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • structured information sections

  • product or service overviews

  • FAQ-like content

  • clearly separated topic areas


Component Structure

When opening the Tab Component, you can:

  • add or hide a headline

  • add or hide a subheadline

  • define the size of the tab labels (three sizes available)

The chosen size depends on how many tabs are used and how prominently they should appear.


Tabs & Content

Each tab is created individually. Within a tab, you can:

  • define the tab label

  • insert additional components via the Plus icon
    ​

Not all components are available within tabs, as not every component is suitable for this structure. However, the available selection is sufficient for typical content use cases.

The number of tabs is not limited. Nevertheless, it is recommended to keep the structure clear and manageable.


Settings per Tab

Using the three-dot menu of a tab, you can:

Deep links are particularly useful for linking directly to specific tabs and guiding navigation more precisely.


Color Scheme

You can define a dedicated color scheme for the Tab Component.

Additionally, individual components within each tab can have their own separate color scheme.

If no separate color scheme is assigned, the content automatically inherits the color scheme of the Tab Component.


Tipps & Tricks

  • Tabs help present long content in a compact and organized way.

  • Too many tabs can reduce clarity and usability.

  • For complex structures, ensure the navigation is well thought out.

  • Avoid creating too many interaction layers that require excessive clicking.
