# PanelBar mounted items

The PanelBar allows its items to stay mounted. To achieve such behavior use the [`keepItemsMounted`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-react-ui/components/layout/api/panelbarprops#keepItemsMounted) property of the PanelBar and set it to `true`. By default the value is set to `false`.
