Tabs
Tabs let users flip between distinct sections of content within the same view, preserving each section’s state.
Tabs organize distinct categories of content within the same interface area, letting users swap between them with a single tap or click. Each tab typically has a short label or icon, and only one tab’s content is visible at a time. This ensures the user can switch contexts instantly without reloading or losing their current state.
They’re employed when multiple closely related views or data sets share the same screen real estate. Instead of forcing deeper navigation or separate pages, tabs present all options up front, so users choose the specific subset they want to see. This streamlined switching fosters an overall sense of cohesion and user control in more content-rich applications.
