This topic came up in office hours again on 5/18/22 and seems to be affecting multiple product designs and causing cascading UX issues such as adding a lot of redundant headings which clutter user interfaces and add to cognitive load.

Moving this back to Triage for reassessing prioritization. For reference, prior to moving this issue was sitting immediately below: https://github.com/grommet/hpe-design-system/issues/2139

Met with Beza and Matt to discuss best path forward on this one. I'm going to meet with Edgar next to see what kind of research has been done on our tabs and to get some feedback on how it is working throughout the system.

Adding Chris's NorthStar designs where we're using buttons as "navigational tabs" in case its needed to consider. https://www.figma.com/file/tbxY1HaiyJjEI9Wm2dQ9nR/HPE-Prototypes?node-id=3213%3A106425

Here, you'll also find a description of how they're being used to navigate side-to-side.

I met with Aditi to discuss my findings from research and conversations with other team members. After assessing the situation and designs that Chris has created in North Star work we have decided to do a quick A/B test on a slight design change. I will close this task out and create a new one for the testing.

Testing task is: #2684
