Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about AdminKit.
Can I move a project from Tabler to AdminKit?
The Bootstrap parts carry over as they are: grid, buttons, forms, cards and utilities use the same classes in both. Tabler's own components and class names have no counterpart, so those pages move to AdminKit's layout. The framework guides show the setup.
Does AdminKit stay closer to Bootstrap than Tabler?
Yes. AdminKit depends on Bootstrap itself and uses its components, classes, Sass variables and data-bs-theme color modes, so Bootstrap's documentation and updates apply as they are. Tabler bundles Bootstrap and adds a component library and class names of its own.
What does AdminKit PRO add that Tabler's paid package does not?
Pages. AdminKit PRO has 53 pages with 5 dashboards, 11 wired-up plugins, AI pages and a settings panel, in HTML, React and Next.js, with email support and lifetime updates. Tabler's paid package is the compiled files of the free template plus email support.
