To assign or link each button on your Webflow site to a different tab in the tabs menu, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Tabs component: Start by adding a Tabs component to your page. You can find it in the Add Panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer. Customize the appearance and positioning of the tabs as per your design requirements.

  2. Add tabs content: Add the content for each tab inside the Tabs component. You can do this by adding a Div Block for each tab and placing your desired elements inside it.

  3. Assign a custom ID to each tab content: To link the buttons to specific tabs, you need to assign a custom ID to each tab content. Select the Div Block for the first tab, go to the Settings tab in the right panel, and set a unique ID in the ID field. Repeat this step for each tab content, giving them different IDs.

  4. Place buttons and set link interactions: Add the buttons you want to link to the tabs content on the page. Select the button, go to the Settings tab in the right panel, and click on the '+' button next to the 'Add Link Settings' field. In the dropdown that appears, select 'Open Tab' from the list of options.

  5. Configure the link interaction: After selecting 'Open Tab', a new field 'Tab to Open' will appear. Enter the ID of the corresponding tab content you want the button to open when clicked. Repeat this step for each button, setting the appropriate tab ID for each.

  6. Style the active button: By default, Webflow will automatically style the active button when a tab is opened. You can customize this styling by selecting the active state of the button and applying desired styles such as changing background color, text color, etc.

  7. Preview and refine: Once you have assigned the proper tab IDs and set up the button interactions, preview your site to ensure that each button opens the correct tab content. Make any necessary adjustments to the tab IDs or button interactions as needed.

By following these steps, you'll be able to assign or link each button on your Webflow site to a different tab in the tabs menu.
