The Popup is the another type of overflowMode in which the Tab container holds the items that can be placed within the available space. The rest of the overflowing items for which there is no space to fit within the viewing area are moved to overflow popup container.

The items placed in popup can be viewed by opening the popup with the help of drop-down icon given at the end of the Tab header.
If the popup height exceeds the height of the visible area, you can scroll through the popup items and select one.
