Advanced Tabs

Display content efficiently using customizable tabbed navigation layouts.

The Advanced Tabs block lets you organize content into a set of tabs with a navigation bar and switchable panels. It is ideal for grouping related content (features, pricing plans, specs) into a compact, interactive area. Each panel is a Tab content child block.

  3. Use the tab toolbar to add, rename, reorder or remove tabs.
  4. Select a tab and add any blocks into its Tab content panel.

Adding Advanced Tabs

Settings

Select the Advanced Tabs block and open the inspector. Settings are split across two tabs: General (specific to this block) and Advanced (shared by all Styble blocks).

General tab

Each General-tab panel has Settings and Style sub-tabs. The structural controls live under Settings.

Styling

The Style sub-tab inside each panel controls typography, colors, backgrounds, borders, radius and spacing. Colors and fonts pull from your Global Settings tokens.

Advanced tab

The Advanced tab is shared by every Styble block. See Advanced settings.

Tab content (child block)

Tab contentContent area for a single tab. This is the panel that shows when its tab is active. It can only be placed inside an Advanced Tabs block.

  • Each tab in the navigation has a matching Tab content panel.
  • Select a tab to reveal and edit its panel — inactive panels are hidden in the editor.
  • A panel can hold any blocks (paragraphs, images, columns, other Styble blocks).
  • The Tab content block has no General-tab controls of its own; styling comes from the parent's Tab Content panel and the shared Advanced settings.

Nesting & relationships

  • Advanced Tabs is the parent; each Tab content panel lives directly inside it.
  • Tab content cannot be used on its own — it only appears inside Advanced Tabs.
  • The number of panels stays in sync with the tabs you add in the navigation.
  • Supports wide and full width alignment from the block toolbar.

Tips & common patterns

  • Use Vertical orientation for sidebars or settings-style layouts where labels sit beside the content.
  • Turn on Equal Height so the surrounding layout doesn't jump when switching between panels of different lengths.
  • Enable the Subtitle to add a short descriptor under each tab label (e.g. price under a plan name).
  • Define colors and typography in Global Settings so your tabs stay consistent across the site.
