Reference summaryTabbed content switcherNavigation primitives should orient users immediately and keep mode switching predictable.
How to read this pageUse the showroom switchers in the sidebar to change engine and tenant, then judge this primitive in the live preview before styling around it locally.

This is the primary runtime verification surface for the component. Engine and tenant changes should land in the rendered DS primitive itself, not in showroom-local wrapper styling.
Preview heuristics
Compare hierarchy, spacing, and interaction feedback before any page-level styling.
The rendered primitive should carry the engine and tenant differences by itself.
If it only looks right inside local wrapper chrome, the primitive or preview needs more work.
Engine comparisonEngine comparisonThe active tenant stays real while the same component is rendered by every engine. The wrapper stays intentionally quiet so engine differences come from the DS itself.

Import and usage

Adoption postureStart with Tabs, not a wrapperImport directly from the design system package, verify the base behavior across 3 engines here, and only wrap when workflow logic starts repeating.
The primitive should stay legible before any page-specific chrome is layered on top.
Usage notes
Import directly from the design system package and keep composition simple first.
Use category-appropriate props before creating wrapper APIs that hide the base contract.
Escalate to patterns or surfaces only when workflow logic clearly outweighs local UI concerns.

Curated reference for fast browsing. Verify edge-case props against the source until this table is extracted directly from the DS.
Reference scan5 documented props1 required and 4 optional rows are listed here so teams can review the contract without digging through source immediately.
Confirm uncommon edge cases against the component implementation until this table is extracted automatically.
Reference disciplineThe table below is tuned for quick scanning in docs. For unusual composition or engine-specific behavior, treat the DS source as the final authority.
