Controlled Tabs
React tabs with controlled state using value and onValueChange props plus Next and Previous buttons for programmatic navigation
Sometimes users need guided workflows—not free navigation between tabs. This React controlled tabs pattern uses useState with value and onValueChange. Built with shadcn/ui Tabs in controlled mode with external navigation buttons, the state management enables wizards—perfect for multi-step forms, onboarding flows, setup wizards, linear processes, guided tours, or any tabbed interface where programmatic tab control validates steps or enforces sequential navigation and external buttons guide users through workflow.
