Nestable Tabs

Nestable tabs allow you to put additional tab groups inside of a tab. This allows you to build more complex structures on your page with out overwhealming your readers.

Tip: More than three levels of tabs can be very confusing for readers. Best practice is to avoid nesting too many layers of tabs to keep your page more accessible.

Rearrange tabs

Tip: We recommend rearranging tabs inside the editor. This makes sure your tabs stay in the same group. If you rearrange the tabs on the edit page, you can split them into different groups by moving the first tab.
  1. Change the order of your tabs by dragging the tabs around inside the editor. Select the drag handle next to the tab you want to move, and then drag it to its new position.
