Work with tabs

For every Page, it is possible to have multiple tabs, such as in a web browser.

Each tab can have its own name and its own widgets.

You can add a tab directly from the Page itself. Or, if you are the global administrator for a Page, you can add a tab from the Groups side-tab.

Learn how to do the following:

To add a tab to a Page:

  1. Go to the Page that you want to add a tab to.
  2. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Edit Page. The page edit buttons appear.
  3. Click Add Tab. A new tab appears.

    Notes:

    • Certain widgets – banners, blogs, forums, and web sites – can be used multiple times per Page.
    • Once you add a widget to a Page, if it can only be used once, it will be grayed-out in the Page Widgets menu.
