Tabs module

Tabs modules provide a compact display of many related assets. A tab module contains a title, description, and individual tabs. Each tab typically contains modules, each with its own title, description, and assets.

Note

This topic describes how to create a shared tabs module that you can use in multiple assets. If you want to create a one-off tabs module, see Creating a one-off module.
