#Usage

Icon buttons should be used sparingly, when the experience calls for a button that occupies less visual real estate. When considering whether an icon button is appropriate, visit these key tips:

#Do

  • Use the various button types & best practices.
  • All icon buttons must be paired with a tooltip. This is critical for building our users’ visual vocabulary, while also providing context. Some icons may not be inherently understandable without the tooltip.
Icon Button Tooltip
  • Use button states (ex. Using an icon button for delete should be red, since it is a destructive action). See button states.
  • For the icons inside the button, do not detach the coupled SVG title. This is important for screen readers. Generally, the SVG title should also match the tooltip.

#Don't

  • Change any color of Icons. Icons inherit fill, hover, and other properties based on the parent element.
