Buttons

UI Text
  • When naming buttons, name the action that the button will trigger, especially if it is potentially destructive. For example, in a warning message dialog box, Delete All and Cancel buttons are clearer than OK and Cancel buttons.
  • Use title capitalization for button names, such as Clone or Run Report. Don’t use ending punctuation in button labels.
  • Don’t use any special formatting when referring to buttons.
Documentation
  • Use bold text when referring to buttons: Click Save.
  • Use the name of the button exactly as it appears on screen.
  • Don’t list the following UI element types unless needed for clarity or navigation: button, checkbox, drop-down button, field, icon, menu, link, radio button, or window. For example, write Click Save, not Click the Save button.
