Menu

Menus let users choose from a list of destinations or actions.

Use Cases

  • Users should be able to:
  • Move between navigation destinations with assistive technology
  • Select a particular navigation destination from a set
  • Get appropriate feedback based on input type documented under Interaction & style

Visual Indicators

Icons are the primary focus of the navigation and such give the dominant cue of its state. Use a filled icon for the selected destination to differentiate from the outlined icons of non-selected destinations.
