Button (design)
Buttons indicate possible actions or choices to a user.
About Buttons
Buttons should be used in situations where users might need to take actions:
- submitting a form
- specify a new or next step in a flow
Button variations
Primary Button
Primary buttons are used to indicate a primary action within a page or view. Primary buttons should only be used once per page, as overuse can cause confusion for a user. However not every page or view needs a primary button.
Secondary Button
The secondary button is used for medium emphasis. It should be used adjacent to a primary button when the action requires less prominence, or if there are multiple actions of the same importance on the page.
Outline Button
Used for general actions, navigation, and filtering.
Plain Button
When a button needs to be placed on top of a colored background or a visual, use the plain button. This button's appears in a white background.
A plain button can also be used in situations where you need a more quiet style button due to its white background.
