Usage
This section includes guidelines for designers and developers about the usage of this component in different contexts.
Do
- Use the tab component within the tab group component.
- Use the
selectedoption to signify if the tab is selected. - Use text, icons and other non-interactive content within the tab.
Don’t
- Don’t use tabs to navigate to other pages. Use navigation or links instead.
- Don't use the tab component outside of the tab group component.
- Don't add interactive elements, such as buttons and links, inside the tab component.
Content guidelines
When writing tab labels, always write them in sentence case, not title case. The first word should be capitalized and the rest lowercase (unless a proper noun):
Avoid unnecessary words and articles in tab labels, such as “the”, “an” or “a”:
Avoid ending tab labels in punctuation:
Use as few words as possible to describe each tab label:
Avoid all caps for tab labels:
Additional considerations
- If the content contained within the tabs UI has significance or is important for the user to see, consider using a different form of presentation that doesn't obscure it.
- If there is a particular section you wish to show out of order of the tabs UI itself consider using the
selectedoption to select the tab but prevent the order of the tabs being affected.
