There are several possibilities; You might want to consider putting the focus on the most important heading or, the focus might need to land on the first editable component or, the focus might need to land on the first important action control. It really depends upon what the next action or event that the user is expected to perform.

Subject: [WebAIM] Where should I expect the focus?

Hello all,

I have a communication app with list of groups as links vertically and on activating each group we can see group opening in the right side part of the page. Above the groups list in the navigation region we do have couple of tabs like conversations and notifications placed horizontally where again content is updated in the right side part of the screen i.e. main region on activating tab items.
Now on activating any group or tab item where should I expect the focus ideally?
Looking for the valuable suggestions on this scenario.

Thanks,
Venkatesh
