Tabs

About this component

Tabs are a great way to display large amounts of information in a way that doesn’t overwhelm users. They are best for displaying sequential content, or content for related subjects (such as campuses). The number of tabs is limited by their length – they shouldn’t wrap to a second line.

Styling

Tabs are turquoise and look like folder tabs. The current tab is slightly darker and taller than the inactive tabs.

Responsive behavior for Tabs

Each tab will be on its own line, with a “plus” icon to indicate you can open/expand the information. By default, the first tab is open when the page loads on phones. The tabs then behave like an accordion, where each tab’s content opens below the corresponding heading. Only one tab can be open at a time, so if another is opened the previous tab will close.

Try to avoid tabs that switch to this small-screen layout all large and on most medium screens.
