Tabs are UI elements that allow multiple contents within a single window. Tabs are used as a navigation for switching between sets of content. With tabs, it is possible to keep a large amount of data in a much smaller area than you usually need.
Nested Tabs feature is combining the functionality of Tab Group and Single tab macros. Tab Group macro is used to control the design of all Single Tabs inside, while each Single Tab macro handles its own content.
How to use
Please follow these steps to insert and configure Nested Tabs macro on a Confluence page:
Navigate to the Confluence page you wish to edit or create a new page.
Once in edit mode, either click the plus icon in the navigation bar (insert elements) or press '/' on your keyboard to bring up the macro list.
Type "Optics" in the search bar, then see the Nested Tabs macro from the options displayed.
Start by adding the Tab Group macro to your Confluence page. This macro will serve as the container for your tabs.
Within the Tab Group macro settings, define the design of your tabs. You can customize various aspects such as alignment, width, icons, and colors to achieve the desired visual style.
Once you're satisfied, click Save to add the Tab Group to your Confluence page. If you decide not to proceed, clicking Cancel will cancel the setup without inserting the macro.
After configuring the design settings in the Tab Group macro, proceed to add Single Tab macros within the Tab Group. Each Single Tab macro represents a separate tab in the tab group.
In the Single Tab editor, specify the icon and tab title for each tab. These elements will be displayed on the tab for easy navigation. Any content added beneath the Single Tab macro will be displayed under the corresponding tab in view mode.
Once you're satisfied, click Save to add the Single Tab to your Confluence page. If you decide not to proceed, clicking Cancel will cancel the setup without inserting the macro.
Publish the page.
