Tabs

also known as Tab set, Tabbed navigation

Tabs let users move between distinct panels of content within the same context, showing one panel at a time. Each tab reveals a unique view, so tabs organize related but separate content without leaving the page. They are commonly displayed as a row of labels with the active one visually highlighted.
