Content element

Tabs

Tabs offer the possibility to display content elements optionally on click to structure a page more clearly.

In general, you should not use more than one tab element per page, otherwise it will look slightly unstable. Depending on the length of the headings of the individual tabs, you should also limit yourself to three tabs per tab element, otherwise they break.

After you have created the content element Tab, you can create tabs, provide them with a heading and select which content element should be displayed on the tab.

Content elements like text or text with image can be filled directly after the selection, for plug-ins you have to define the type of the plug-in in the second step.
