# Tab Navigation
Tabs organise related content under a shared context. The tab strip communicates the full set of available views; switching tabs swaps the content panel without a page navigation. They work best when all views share a heading, a primary action, or a common subject — tabs that have nothing to do with each other belong in separate pages.
---
## When to Use Tabs — and When Not To
| Use tabs when… | Use something else when… |
|---|---|
| 2–7 views share a common context (same record, same settings section) | There are more than 7–8 tabs — use a sidebar or section nav instead |
| Users switch between views frequently during a session | The content is sequential (use a stepper/wizard instead) |
| All tabs are equally valid entry points | One view is clearly primary — put the rest in a secondary nav or overflow |
| The views share a header or set of page-level actions | Each "tab" requires a different header and layout — use separate pages |
