644+
Sigma offers several layout elements that help you structure workbook pages, improve navigation, and create interactive user experiences. Each element is designed to make your content more organized, visually appealing, and easier to use.
645+
646+
Having all these options allows you to get creative with workbook functionality and design—encouraging your users to engage with and return to your workbooks.

### Containers

### Tabbed Container
666+
Tabbed containers let you organize related content into separate tabs within the same space. This saves screen real estate, reduces scrolling, and allows users to easily switch between different views or datasets without leaving the page.
667+
668+
An example can be seen on the `Administration` > `Usage` page where the content actually uses nested tabbed containers:

### Modal
673+
A modal is a pop-up window that overlays the workbook. Modals are ideal for highlighting important content, collecting input, or guiding users through a focused interaction without navigating away from the main page.
674+
675+
Modals can be used for simple things like confirming a change or complex as shown in the [Approvals QuickStart](https://quickstarts.sigmacomputing.com/guide/dataapps_approvals_flow/index.html?index=..%2F..index#0)

### Popover
680+
Popovers display additional information or interactive controls in a small floating panel triggered by a click or hover.
681+
They’re perfect for providing contextual help, quick filters, or small forms without cluttering the main layout.
682+
683+
An example can be seen on the `Administration` > `Usage` page where a popover is used for filters, freeing up space:

### Form
688+
Forms enable users to input and submit data directly within a workbook. They can be used to capture user feedback, send parameters to queries, or write data back to your warehouse—bringing interactivity and data collection directly into your Sigma dashboards.
689+
690+
There is a QuickStart, [Forms: Quick Capture and Analysis with Sigma](https://quickstarts.sigmacomputing.com/guide/dataapps_create_a_form_simple/index.html?index=..%2F..index#0) that walks through the process of using forms to capture trade show leads.
