  2. Click Manage Tabs.
  3. Hover over the relevant item in the panel.
  4. Click the More Actions icon .

Step 3 | Add elements to your tab items

After naming each tab, start building its content by adding the elements you need. The elements are only displayed in that particular tab, so you can add as much or as little content as you need.

  1. Click the tabs in your editor. 
  2. Open the relevant tab item from the drop-down menu.
  3. Click Add Elements on the left side of the editor.
