# Manage Community Navigation Tabs

> Enable, disable, and reorder the built-in tabs in your community navigation. Only owners and admins can access this tab.

The Tabs tab controls which built-in navigation items appear in your community. You can toggle individual tabs on or off to keep the navigation focused on what your members actually use.

<Note>
  Only community owners and admins with **Manage settings** permission can access this tab.
</Note>

## Available default tabs

The following built-in tabs can be enabled or disabled:

* **Classroom** — Course modules and learning content
* **Calendar** — Events and scheduled activities
* **Map** — Member locations and meetups
* **Apps** — Third-party integrations and tools

## Enable or disable a tab

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Open the **Tabs** tab in **Community Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Find the tab you want to change in the **Default Tabs** list.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the row to toggle it on or off. Blue means visible; gray means hidden.
  </Step>
</Steps>

The toggle saves immediately and the navigation updates for all members.

## Custom tabs

Below the default tabs, you can add custom navigation links. Each custom tab can link to an external URL or an embedded app. You can set visibility to Public, Members, Admins, or Draft, and restrict by pricing tier.

Custom tabs support drag-and-drop reordering, or you can use the up and down arrows for precise control.

## Tab visibility summary

At the bottom of the page, a summary shows how many tabs are currently visible in the community navigation, including the default Community tab plus any enabled defaults and custom tabs.

<Tip>
  Hide tabs you are not using yet. You can always re-enable them later without losing any data.
</Tip>

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Will disabling a tab delete its content?">
    No. Disabling a tab only hides it from the navigation. All content, events, or data remain intact and reappear when you enable the tab again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can members see hidden tabs?">
    No. Hidden tabs are completely removed from the navigation for all members. Only owners and admins can see and change tab settings.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many custom tabs can I create?">
    You can create up to 10 custom tabs per community. The counter at the top of the Custom Tabs section shows your current usage.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I reorder default tabs?">
    Default tabs follow a fixed order. You can toggle them on or off, but you cannot change their relative order. Custom tabs can be reordered freely.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Tab toggle does not save">
    Check your internet connection. The toggle should save immediately. If it keeps reverting, refresh the page and try again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Custom tab URL is not loading">
    Make sure the URL starts with `https://`. Some sites block embedding in iframes, which may prevent them from loading inside the community.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tab visibility is wrong for some members">
    Visibility changes apply immediately. If a member still sees a tab they should not, ask them to refresh the page. Tier restrictions only work if you have pricing tiers set up.
  </Accordion>
