Use tabs to organize content into multiple panels that users can switch between. You can add any number of tabs and include other components inside each tab.
<Tabs>
<Tab title="First tab">
☝️ Welcome to the content that you can only see inside the first tab.
You can add any number of components inside of tabs. For example, a code block:
```java HelloWorld.java
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="Second tab" icon="leaf">
✌️ Here's content that's only inside the second tab.
This one has a <Icon icon="leaf" /> icon!
</Tab>
<Tab title="Third tab">
💪 Here's content that's only inside the third tab.
</Tab>
</Tabs>

Tabs with matching titles stay in sync across the page. For example, if you have multiple tab groups that include a `JavaScript` tab title, selecting `JavaScript` in one tab group automatically selects `JavaScript` in the others. This helps users who choose a language or framework once see that choice reflected everywhere. Tabs also sync with [code groups](/components/code-groups) that have matching titles.
To disable tab synchronization, add `sync={false}` to a `<Tabs>` component.
```mdx Disable tab sync example
<Tabs sync={false}>
<Tab title="First tab">
This tab group operates independently.
</Tab>
<Tab title="Second tab">
Selecting tabs here won't affect other tab groups.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
```
## Properties
<ResponseField name="title" type="string" required>
The title of the tab. Short titles are easier to navigate. Tabs with matching titles synchronize their selections.
</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="icon" type="string">
A [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/icons) icon, [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/icons) icon, URL to an icon, or relative path to an icon.
</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="iconType" type="string">
For Font Awesome icons only: One of `regular`, `solid`, `light`, `thin`, `sharp-solid`, `duotone`, `brands`.
</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="sync" type="boolean" default="true">
When `true`, tabs synchronize with other tabs and code groups on the page that have matching titles. Set to `false` to make tabs independent.
</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="borderBottom" type="boolean">
Adds a bottom border and padding to the tabs container. Useful to visually separate tabbed content from the rest of the page, especially when tabs contain content of varying lengths.
</ResponseField>
