What is a tab in UX?
Tabs are a navigation element used in web design that allow users to easily access different areas of a site or different parts of an individual page. They're sort of like tabbed dividers in a filing cabinet – by clicking a tab, users can easily locate a page containing related content.
What is tab design?
Design tab. The Design tab includes table formatting, cell and table borders, arranging the table on the page, and the size of the table. Tip: You can hover over tools to see a short explanation of the tool's functionality.
Why are tabs used?
Use tabs to alternate between views within the same context, not to navigate to different areas. This is the single most important point, because staying in place while alternating views is the reason we have tabs in the first place.
What can I use instead of tabs?
If they're too long, then accordions are a better choice rather than tabs! Accordions placed on a horizontal space have too much space to accommodate long options and plenty of data, while on tabs if you choose long names as labels, they will look more or less like accordions only!
