ButtonGroup can be used to group any related buttons together. To emphasize related buttons, a group should share a common container.
Design guidelines
Usage
Selected action
Do
Only one option in a button group can be selected and active at a time. Selecting one option deselects any other.
Best practices
Button groups should:
- Be clearly and accurately labeled.
- Clearly communicate that clicking or tapping will trigger an action.
- Use established colors appropriately. For example, only use red buttons for actions that are difficult or impossible to undo.
- Have consistent locations in the interface.
States
Active and available button groups
A button group’s state makes it clear which button is active. Hover and focus states express the available selection options for buttons in a button group.
Disabled button groups
Button groups that cannot be selected can either be given a disabled state, or be hidden.
