+The ARIA `tabpanel` is a container for the resources of layered content associated with a `tab`.
 
 ## Description
 
-An element with the `tabpanel` role
+The `tabpanel` role indicates the element is a container for the resources associated with a [`tab`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/tab_role) role, where each `tab` is contained in a [`tablist`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/tablist_role). 
 
-### Associated Roles and Attributes
+A `tabpanel` is part of the a tab interface, a common user experience pattern in which a group of visual tabs each enable quick switching between multiple layered views. Each tab is defined as such with the `tab` role. The `tablist` role is used on the container grouping the selectable tabs. The `tablist` is usually above or to the side of a content area. The `tabpanel` role is the role of the container of every pane of content that is made visible by selecting a tab. Only one `tabpanel` is visible at a time.
 
-### Keyboard interaction
+Only the `tabpanel` associated with the currently selected `tab` is displayed. The other `tabpanel` elements, the ones associated with the unselected `tabs` are hidden. 
+
+Selecting a different `tab` changes the currently visible tab panel. The content area changes by making visible a new panel while hiding the previously visible panel and making the newly selected tab more prominent than the other tabs. User focus, however, does not change on tab selection. 
+
+Tabs do not act as anchor links to individual panels. While semantic HTML may be coded with the tabs being anchor links natigating to the tab's associated tabpanel, when JavaScript is used to progressively enhance the content to a tabbed interface, the link's default behavior should be prevented.  
+
+In a tab interface, selecting a `tab` makes the associated `tabpanel` visible but does not not move user focus. Tab selection only reveals the content of the associated panel visually and unhides them from assistive technologies. The <kbd>Tab</kbd> key should be programmed to move from the focused tab to the tab's associated tabpanel.
+
+Each `tab` in a `tablist` serves as the label for one of the tab panels and can be activated to display that panel. Include the `id` of each `tab` as the value of each `tabpanel`'s [`aria-labelledby`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-labelledby) attribute. 
+
+You can also optionally associate each `tabpanel` with its associated `tab` by including the {{HTMLAttrXRef('id')}} of the `tabpanel` as the value of the `tab`'s [`aria-controls`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-controls) attribute. 
 
-| Key               | Action |
-| ----------------- | ------ |
-| <kbd>Tab</kbd>    |        |
-| <kbd>→</kbd>      |        |
-| <kbd>←</kbd>      |        |
-| <kbd>Delete</kbd> |        |
+When a tabbed interface is initialized, one `tabpanel` is displayed and its associated `tab` is styled to indicate that it is active.  Hide the non-visible tabpanels with the HTML {{htmlattrxref('hidden')}} attribute or set [`aria-hidden="true"`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-labelledby). Browsers won't render elements with the `hidden` attribute set, so long as [CSS is declared on a `hidden` attribute selector to remove it](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display#none). 
 
-### Required JavaScript features
+If using `aria-hidden`, use CSS to hide the hidden tab panels. When a new `tab` is selected, remove the `hidden` attribute from the newly active panel or set the `aria-hidden` attribute to `false`, while adding `hidden` or `aria-hidden="true"` to the previously active `tabpanel`. 
 
-> **Note:** Include note about semantic alternatives to using this role or attribute. The first rule of ARIA use is you can use a native feature with the semantics and behavior you require already built in, instead of re-purposing an element and **adding** an ARIA role, state or property to make it accessible, then do so. Then post full details in best practices section below.
+The newly selected `tab` is considered "active" and should have it`s [`aria-selected`](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Attributes/aria-selected) attribute set to `true` while all other tabs in the same `tablist` should have the `aria-selected` attribute set to `false`, or removed altogether. See [ARIA `tab` role](/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/Roles/tab_role) for move information.
 
-## Examples
+If the `tablist` precedes the `tabpanel` in source order, the user will expect to be able to step through the remaining tabs in focus order or select the <kbd>down arrow</kbd> to give focus to the visible tabpanel when navigating by keyboard.
 
-Fill in a simple example that nicely shows a typical usage of the property, then perhaps some more complex examples (see our guide on how to add [code examples](/en-US/docs/MDN/Structures/Code_examples) for more information).
+Include [`tabindex="-1"`](/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/tabindex) on enable a `tabpanel` to receive focus without putting the `tabpanel` in the page <kbd>Tab</kbd> focus sequence for keyboard users. 
+
+Make sure to include focus styles for the `tabpanel` that has focus, optimally using the CSS {{CSSXref(':focus')}} pseudoclass, so keyboard users know there was a change in focus and are aware of what content currently has focus.
+
+Carousels can be created using this tab pattern: A slide picker controls can be marked up as `tabs` in a `tablist` with the slide represented by a `tabpanel` element.
