ButtonA button triggers an event or action. Primary buttons that indicate a call to action, are the most prominent. Secondary buttons, which indicate less commonly used actions, should be less prominent than primary buttons, second in hierarchy. Buttons are placed where a user should expect them, i.e. in close proximity to the other elements that the action affects.

UX Guidelines

Do’s & Don'tsThere are a few things to avoid when implementing buttons in your screen:

Unclear buttons hierarchyHave a clear hierarchy of your buttons. Decide which one of the actions in your screen is the main one and use a Primary button for it. All other buttons should be secondary and tertiary in the way they look. Destructive actions should be treated likewise.

Inappropriate buttons layoutMake sure you’re using a layout that can accommodate actions text.

Action text truncation/ellipsisAction text truncation or ellipsis should be avoided at all costs. Actions should be clear and down to the point. In case the action is complex, consider displaying an explanatory text outside the actual button component.

Full-Width Vs. Floating ButtonSelecting the right button style for your needs

Full Width ButtonMedium prominence. Used in management screens for the main action, e.g. ‘Add New’

Floating ButtonHigh prominence. Used as the main CTA on the screen, e.g. ‘Join Now’, ‘Create’
