Tabs

Tabs are a set of content sections, known as tab panels, that each have an associated tab title. When a tab title is activated (by being clicked or tapped), its tab panel is displayed.

In the horizontal layout, tab titles are arranged along the top of the displayed panel.

In the vertical layout, tab titles are arranged in a vertical stack (aka an accordion). Displayed panels show adjacent to their tab title.
