Tabs

The Tabs macro allows you to add tabs to provide interactive, categorized, or isolated information to the page. A Tabs macro is added for each tab that you want to display. 

You can now add more than one array of tabs to a Confluence page.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to the page you want to edit.

  2. Click the Edit icon.

  3. Click Insert > View More in the Confluence editor.

  4. Select the Tabs macro in the Select Macro screen. (Alternatively, use / and begin to type tab to access the macro via the quick insert menu.)

  5. Enter the title to be displayed on the tab, e.g. Venue.

    Primary Tabs only affect the tabs following them. If you have a single group of tabs you do not need to select the Primary Tab checkbox

  7. Select the Tab Group Arrangement; this can be vertical or horizontal. The arrangement of all the tabs on a page is decided by the setting in the editor of the first tab in a group.

  8. A macro placeholder is displayed. Changes save automatically. 

  9. Add the content that you want to display on that tab.

  10. Add an additional Tabs macro for each tab that you want to display, for example, we added additional macros for Workshops, Facilities, and Directions. In the following image.

To make changes to the order of the tabs, change the order of the macros on the page. Drag and drop the macros to do this.

Add Multiple Tab Groups
