Since 1.0 stable

Tab panels are used inside tabs to display tabbed content.

Tab panels are used inside tabs components to display tabbed content. Each tab panel must have a name attribute that matches the panel attribute of its corresponding tab.

General Custom Advanced This is the general tab panel. This is the custom tab panel. This is the advanced tab panel. 
<terra-tabs>
  <terra-tab slot="nav" panel="general">General</terra-tab>
  <terra-tab slot="nav" panel="custom">Custom</terra-tab>
  <terra-tab slot="nav" panel="advanced">Advanced</terra-tab>

  <terra-tab-panel name="general">This is the general tab panel.</terra-tab-panel>
  <terra-tab-panel name="custom">This is the custom tab panel.</terra-tab-panel>
  <terra-tab-panel name="advanced">This is the advanced tab panel.</terra-tab-panel>
</terra-tabs>

Usage

Tab panels contain the content that is displayed when their corresponding tab is active. Only one tab panel is visible at a time.

Best Practices

  • Ensure each tab panel has a unique name that matches its corresponding tab’s panel attribute
  • Keep tab panel content focused and relevant to its tab label
  • Use appropriate heading levels within tab panels for document structure

Accessibility

Tab panels use proper ARIA attributes (role="tabpanel") and are automatically hidden/shown based on their active state. Screen readers will announce tab panel content when it becomes active.
