Overview #
Profile Navigation Tabs act as the command center for exploring a member’s digital footprint. Located directly between the Profile Header and the Overview section, these tabs allow users to toggle between a member’s professional data, social activity, and media assets without losing sight of their core identity.
Navigation Mechanics #
- Active State: The currently selected tab is highlighted with a blue underline.
- Sticky Header: When you switch tabs, only the content area below the navigation bar refreshes. The profile header and sidebar remain fixed for constant context.
- Mobile View: To save screen real estate, only the Profile and Feed tabs are shown by default. All other sections are tucked under the More (•••) button.
