Behaviors
- Use the same height for all the buttons that are in the same row.
- Text can not wrap multiple lines. It must all be on one line.
- A borderless button must be placed either before or after a set of bordered buttons.
Block level button
Buttons can also be configured at block level. Use this configuration when you need to communicate that an important action is required for the user. For example, it can be used as a load more action below a list. Please do not use it in forms. Choose the button type carefully. Primary is not always the best choice, nor is it the only configuration.
Dropdown button
Dropdown buttons are always used with a dropdown menu. This button variation can be secondary or borderless type.
- Label: Use a label that will relate to the list it provides.
- Arrow: Arrow icon indicates there's a list for this button.
See the dropdowns page to learn more about dropdowns components.
Combo button
Split buttons are used when you need to offer the user a quick main action along with secondary actions.
- Button: Use a button that allows the user to do a quick action.
- Dropdown: Provide a dropdown next to the button to give the user additional options.
Button group
Button groups are used to switch between complementary views for example, but they must never be used for complementary actions, "Change and Cancel" actions, or "Save and Cancel" actions. In those cases, single buttons are the correct solution.
- Unselected Provide unselected states for the button if the user is not on that page.
- Selected: When the user selects this page provide an active state to provide clarity of which page they are viewing.
