====== Navigator > Tabbed Navigator + ======

This page allows for a lot of content to be organised and viewed on one Xerte page.  In the left-hand panel there is an interactive list (of Topics) which determines (at the top level) what is visible in the right-hand panel.  In the right-hand panel, there are Tabs which determine what is visible at the lower level.  One way to conceptualise this page is to think of it as a combination of the **Interactive List** and **Multi-navigator: Tabs **page types.

=== General ===

See [[optional_properties#General optional properties|General Optional Properties]]

There are no **Language Options **for the **Tabbed Navigator +** page type.

After you have created the overall settings for the page and added any introductory text, you need to create;

  * **Topics**
  * then **Tabs **for each Topic 
  * and **Nested Pages **for each Tab.

This screenshot (from the authoring interface for the demo above) shows how these appear in the project structure;

  * **Advice for Content Authors** is a Topic
  * **Dyslexia **is a Tab within that topic 
  * **Overview **and **Beware** are Nested Pages within that Tab.

For Add **New Topic** and Add **New Tab **you just need to enter names which appear in the Topic List in the left-hand panel, and the Tabs in the right-hand panel.  There are **no Optional Properties or Language Options** at these levels.

For Add **New Nested Page**, you add a Title and Text.  You can add images, audio and embed video in the Text Editor.  You can also add an Image as an Optional Property.
