1. In computer software (e.g., Internet browser), a tab is a clickable area at the top of a window that shows another page or area. When a tab is clicked, the tab's contents are shown, and any other open tab is hidden. Tabs allow you to switch between options in a program, separate documents, or web pages.

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 is a tab character?
A tab character defines the space between two document elements. For example, you can separate numbers from list items, or columns of text, by using tabs. You can then set tab stops that define the location and alignment of the tabbed text.
How do I add a tab on my website?
Hover over the Menu you want to add the tab to, for example SocialSite. Click + New Page. Enter the Tab Name - This name will appear on the tab. Enter the Title - This title will appear on the browser tab.
How many tabs should a website have?
You should have no more than seven main tabs in your navigation. Human brains can only keep about seven things in the short term memory at one time. That means that people can only decide among seven options. More choices may feel overwhelming.
