# Buttons

Buttons are used to signify actions the user can take. Use primary buttons as happy path actions, such as confirming, saving, or creating. Secondary buttons should be used for alternative actions, such as saving or cancelling. Danger buttons should only be used when the user is performing an action that is irreversible. Toggles are typically used for transforming the scope or format of data. For example, viewing data by day/week/month, or numbers vs percentages.

#### Guidelines

- The labels should be title case and ≤ 15 characters long.
- Labels should be semantically parallel.

- For showing boolean state—e.g. on / off—use a switch or a checkbox.

Don't use non-parallel labels.
Don't use a toggle for a switch.
