# syn-menu-label

## Summary

Menu labels are used to describe a group of menu items.

## Common Use Cases

- Organize command menus with multiple categories.
- Separate account actions from content actions.
- Improve scannability in dropdown and context menus.

## Usage Guidelines

### Grouping

- Use menu labels to separate related item groups in large menus.
- Use consistent grouping logic such as task type, frequency, or section.
- Avoid too many groups that make scanning harder.

### Content

- Use concise titles such as "File" or "Account".
- Use sentence case or title case consistently across the menu.
- Avoid verbose labels that duplicate menu item wording.

### Menu Structure

- Pair menu labels with separators when visual grouping needs reinforcement.
- Keep group sizes balanced to avoid very long unbroken sections.
- Ensure grouped items remain logically ordered within each section.

## Accessibility

- Use menu labels to improve orientation in long menus and grouped options.
- Keep label text short so assistive technologies announce groups efficiently.
- Do not use menu labels as interactive menu items.
