Buttons and links

Links move between destinations. Buttons perform actions on the current page.

Buttons

Use a primary button for the main action and a secondary button for a supporting action.

Warning buttons

Use a warning button only for a serious destructive action that is difficult to undo. State the outcome clearly and do not rely on its red color to communicate risk.

Disabled buttons

Disabled buttons are shown only when an unavailable action must remain visible.

Links

Use a standard blue link for content destinations that people should notice while reading or scanning, such as an article, project, or task.

Current-color links

Use a current-color link for a secondary utility, navigation, or form action when its context already establishes its role and standard blue would compete with primary content. Examples include view-all, back, retry, remove, and pagination links.

Keep current-color links underlined unless an established component pattern identifies them as links. Do not use current color merely to hide or de-emphasize an important destination.

Back links

Use a back link at the start of a form or task when users may need to return to the previous step.
