# Tabs

**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.

    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.

```
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
```
