# Tabs

Organize related content into tabs in PowerShell Universal apps with vertical orientation, icons, and dynamic tab rendering options.

**Tabs make it easy to explore and switch between different views.**

Tabs organize and allow navigation between groups of content that are related and at the same level of hierarchy.

## Tabs

```powershell
New-UDTabs -Tabs {
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item One' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item One' -Variant 'h2' }
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Two' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item Two' -Variant 'h2' }
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Three' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item Three' -Variant 'h2' }
}
```

## Vertical Tabs

```powershell
New-UDTabs -Tabs {
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item One' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item One' -Variant 'h2' }
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Two' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item Two' -Variant 'h2' }
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Three' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item Three' -Variant 'h2' }
} -Orientation vertical
```

## Dynamic Tabs

Dynamic tabs will refresh their content when they are selected. You will need to include the `-RenderOnActive` parameter to prevent all the tabs from rendering even if they are not shown.

```powershell
New-UDTabs -Tabs {
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item One' -Content { Get-Date } -Dynamic
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Two' -Content { Get-Date } -Dynamic
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Three' -Content { Get-Date } -Dynamic
} -RenderOnActive
```

## Icons

```powershell
New-UDTabs -Tabs {
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item One' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item One' -Variant 'h2' } -Icon (New-UDIcon -Icon Users)
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Two' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item Two' -Variant 'h2' } -Icon (New-UDIcon -Icon Desktop)
    New-UDTab -Text 'Item Three' -Content { New-UDTypography -Text 'Item Three' -Variant 'h2' } -Icon (New-UDIcon -Icon Exclamation)
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/apps/components/navigation/tabs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
