The tabs are built into the template and are very easy to use. The tabs and their triggers appear  on the page when you publish any module to the Tab1, Tab2, Tab3 or Tab4 position and the tab trigger titles are controlled in the template parameters. You can publish up to four individual modules to each tab position.

The text for the triggers are controlled by our the template administrator  as per the screenshot below. The these settings can be found in the news stream template parameters under the extra scripts and performance >  hidden panel settings.

 Please note in the next major release of the Zen grid framework tabs and slides will be a core feature of the  Zen Grid Joomla template framework.

The demo site for the Inside Out template uses a combination of microblog modules in the tab1 to tab4 positions.

The tab modules are contained within a template override which can be found in the file called grid1.php. This file is located in the templates > Insideout > layout  folder in your Joomla site.  The JavaScript that controls the tabs action can be found in the templates > Insideout > includes > template.js  file.

In order to disable the tabbed modules all you need to do is either unpublished all modules that may be published to the tab1, tab2, tab3 or tab4  module positions.
