# How to change Elementor Tab on Hover?

##

- Users activate the On Hover Tab option in the Special Option settings to implement hover effects.
- The blog references additional features, including autoplay for tabs in Elementor.

Do you want to make your tabs open when someone hovers over the title instead of clicking on them?

**Best Used For:**

- Navigation-heavy pages where hover interaction reduces the number of clicks needed to explore content- Product feature pages where each tab reveals a different feature as the visitor moves the cursor across the titles- Portfolio or agency sites where a more interactive and fluid browsing experience is a priority
