Tabs organize and allow navigation between groups of content that are related and at the same level of hierarchy.
Each tab should contain content that is distinct from other tabs in a set. For example, tabs can present different sections of news, different genres of music, or different themes of documents.
Default tabs
Most of the details about a basic tab have been covered in Components/Navs documentation. Read more about Navs.
Fixed tabs
Fixed tabs display all tabs on one screen, with each tab at a fixed width. The width of each tab is determined by dividing the number of tabs by the screen width. They don’t scroll to reveal more tabs; the visible tab set represents the only tabs available.

Scrollable tabs are displayed without fixed widths. They are scrollable, such that some tabs will remain off-screen until scrolled.
N.B. Due to its overflow value, scrollable tabs are not compatible with dropdown components.
