Tabs make it easy to switch between different views.
### When To Use
Ant Design has 3 types of Tabs for different situations.
- Card Tabs: for managing too many closeable views.
- Normal Tabs: for functional aspects of a page.
- [Radio.Button ](/components/radio/#components-radio-demo-radiobutton ): for secondary tabs.
