To set up multiple levels of tab panes with nested tab links in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Add a tab element: Drag and drop a Tabs component from the Add panel onto your page.

  2. Configure tabs: Double-click on the Tabs element to open the Tab settings panel. Here you can add or remove tabs and customize their appearance.

  3. Create a nested tab: Inside one of the tab panes, add another Tabs component. This will create a nested tab structure.

  4. Customize nested tabs: Double-click on the nested Tabs component to open its settings panel. Add or remove tabs as needed. By default, the nested tabs will be placed vertically, but you can change this in the tab settings.

  5. Connect nested tabs to main tabs: To create a link between the nested tabs and main tabs, you need to use custom attributes. Select a tab link in the nested tab and go to the Settings panel. Under the Attributes section, add a custom attribute named "data-w-tab" and set its value to the corresponding tab name in the main Tabs component.

  6. Style the tabs: Customize the appearance of the tabs and tab panes using the Style panel. You can change the colors, fonts, and spacing to match your design.

  7. Preview and publish: Once you have set up the multiple levels of tab panes with nested tab links, preview your site to see how it works. Make any necessary adjustments, and then publish your site for the changes to take effect.

This nested tab structure allows you to organize your content in a hierarchical way, providing a clear and structured navigation experience for your users.
