# Keep Texts in Tabs

> Keep Texts in Tabs is a dashboard card for Home Assistant. It has 51 GitHub stars and was last updated October 25, 2026.

Keep Texts in Tabs is a dashboard card that shows the text label next to the icon on dashboard view tabs. Home Assistant normally replaces a view's text with its icon, so a tab can show one or the other but not both. This plugin keeps the text visible alongside the icon for views that use icons. Settings let the text sit before or after the icon, limit the change to chosen tabs, or leave specific tabs out. A separate override option reverses the text position on selected tabs relative to the global position. It is added through the Marketplace or by manual file download, and the configuration goes at the start of the dashboard code.
