Tab Group: Specific links to each Tab possible?

Question

Hi Community,

wa want to create pages using the Atlas Makro to create a Tb Group so we can have structured information (in our case for App and Desktop devices).

It looks quite good, but there is one problem:

We want to share links to specific parts of the App or Desktop content with colleagues. But the link looks always the same regardless it we are in the "App" Tab or in the "Desktop" Tab.

Is it possible to integrate the Tab-information somehow in the link so that users get linked to the correct Tab?

Or is there another Makro/solution?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same question but got a part of the answer: with the tabs-group macro you can have tabs with the tabs-pane macro which have a anchor attribute. the attribute value can be included into the url with a hashtag (#) so it knows which tab to open, eg: https://#123456789 This will directly open that tab. If anyone knows how to open tabs within tabs, let me know (eg: https://#123456789#987654321 ) so we can work with nested tabs. Additional tip is to work with include pages macro so you don't lose yourself on the page

Hello @david.vanselow

Welcome to the community.

I hope I have interpreted your request correctly. You want to create tabs in Confluence and use links to guide your users to the desired tab content, right?

Atlassian does not have a native tab navigation solution. Your company is using an app that comes with tab macros. Some of these apps offer direct linking to the desired tab content. It would be best if you found out which app you are using for the tabs, read their documentation, or contact the vendor's support.

If you use our Navitabs app, you will find here the desired information for the Confluence Cloud and Data Center versions.

Kind regards,

Mattia

I am not aware of a way to create links to the tabs or of any other macros that would work this way.
