Populating tabbed slots in layout templates

Some layout templates contain slots that display the page content in tabs. You can add a title to each of the tabs and then add widgets to populate the tabs. It is not necessary to use all the tabs that are included in the template. For example, if the template has three tabs, you can leave the third tab empty so that the tab is not rendered on the page.

The following are examples of templates that contain tabbed slots:
