When to use it
Where Tabs earns its place
Reach for Tabs
- Two to five peer views of one object, switched in place with no change of address.
- A panel whose heading, meta and primary action must hold still while the content beneath them changes.
- A field with two or three short options that shape what it shows: a segmented control rather than full tabs.
- A dense toolbar where the options are short enough to sit side by side without truncating.
Reach for something else
- Views that have to be completed in order: a stepper announces the sequence, where tabs promise peers you can visit in any order.
- Content people need to compare, print or search across: stacked sections with headings keep all of it findable, while tabs hide every panel but one, including from in-page search.
- Anything that changes the address or what the primary action does. That is navigation, and it belongs in a nav or a tab menu.

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.
- Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
- Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
- More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
- Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
- Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
- Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.

Questions about Tabs in place, morph.
What is the Tabs in place, morph block?
Tabs in place, morph is a Tabs block from Orvain UI, built for React and Vue with a matching Figma frame. Best for views of very different heights, where the panel should say which way the choice went.
What is the Tabs in place, morph block made of?
4 parts: the new panel slides in from the side of the new tab while the card height eases to the new content; no floor, no empty space; header and tabs never move; and reduced motion swaps instantly. Keep them all, or drop the ones your product does not need; the rest of the block holds together without them.
Is the Tabs in place, morph block responsive?
Yes. It is drawn at 600px and never stretched past that. Below it, its controls, text and spacing step down with the container the block sits in rather than the browser window, so it holds up in a sidebar, a tablet layout and a 390px phone without clipping or sideways scrolling.
Is the Tabs in place, morph block accessible?
It ships with text labels on every icon-only button, full keyboard reach with a visible focus ring, states that never rely on colour alone, text contrast that holds when you retheme it, no animation for visitors who ask for reduced motion, and click targets of at least 24px.
How do I add the Tabs in place, morph block to my project?
It is part of every Orvain Library plan: the React and Vue code, its frame in the Orvain Figma file, and the Orvain MCP server. With the MCP connected, an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor or v0 can build it from one line: “Add the Orvain Tabs in place, morph block to this page.”
When should I not use a Tabs block?
Views that have to be completed in order: a stepper announces the sequence, where tabs promise peers you can visit in any order.
