## Working with the component

In the right side panel, under the *Appearance* section, you can set up how your component will look like. You can configure such settings as:

* Height
* Margin
* Tabs overflow style
* Tab text wrap
* Tabs style

*Tabs overflow* and *text wrap* allow you to control the layout: you can switch between **Arrows** and **Scroll** and enable text wrapping for longer tabs to keep things readable.
