Tabs

Step-by-Step Guide

If you have any further questions on proper setup, please fill out our Hive Service Request form and someone from the team will help you.

Page Examples:

For visuals of the component, please see the Tabs configured on the page below:

  • https://business.columbia.edu/financial-aid/loans

Tabs

What it does: Organizes content into tabbed panels — only the active tab's content is shown at once. Supports both horizontal (default) and vertical tab layouts. Each tab contains a title and a rich text content area.

When to use it: Comparing program tracks, organizing content by audience, presenting multi-step information compactly.

How to Add

  1. Edit the page node.
  2. Click Add Component → Tabs.

How to Update

  1. Edit the page, open the Tabs component.
  2. Click into a tab item to update its Tab Title or Tab Content.
  3. Add new tabs with Add Item; remove old ones with ×.
  4. Reorder tabs using drag handles — they display left to right (or top to bottom in vertical mode) in the order set here.
  5. Save.

⚠️ Don't put critical information only inside a non-default tab. Some users won't realize additional tabs exist. If content is essential, consider a different layout like an accordion (FAQs) or sequential sections.
