+### Reactive example
+
+Use the `selected` prop to bind the current tab index.
+
+<FileSource src="/framed/Tabs/TabsReactive" />
+
 ### Re-rendering tabs
 
+In the example below, tabs are rendered using the `#each` block. However, the Tabs component can lose track of the current index if the number of rendered tabs changes.
+
 Use the [`#key` block](https://svelte.dev/docs#key) to dynamically update tab items or content.
 
-The example below shows tabs and the bound `selected` index being programmatically updated.
