Tabs Block

The Tabs block can be used to reduce the number of subpages in a section and also organize related content on a page. This block can be customized with up to five tabs per component. The tabs are designed to only contain text (no images, video, buttons, etc.). Double-click on the tab heading or tab body to edit the text.

Best Practices

  • Shorter text lengths per tab are more effective.
  • Be sure that formatting is consistent.

Settings

  • Quantity: Number of tabs in the block between 2-5 tabs
  • Move Tab: Reorder a tab in the block
