Best practices

  • Represent the same kind of content across tabs, such as one list with different filters — don’t group dissimilar content.
  • Keep only one tab active at a time.
  • Let people complete their work within a tab rather than jumping back and forth.
  • Don’t use tabs for primary navigation.

Do’s and don’ts

Do

Use short, scannable labels, usually a single word: “All”, “Open”, “Unpaid”.

Don’t

Write long, sentence-like tab labels or repeat the section name in each tab.
