Button group

Button group is used to gather multiple actions.

Button Group with primary and secondary actions

Overview

Use Button group when you have to display multiple buttons located in the same space. Button Group will help to space buttons out evenly.

It can contain the following combinations:

  • 1 Primary Button + 1 Secondary button : when two actions are available, but one is more important than the other

  • 2 Secondary Buttons : when two actions are available, and none is more important

  • 1 Primary Button OR 1 Secondary Button + 1 Menu Button: when there are more than two actions available, but one stands out, and others are regrouped in a sub-menu

  • 2 buttons + 1 Menu Button

Guidelines

Buttons must be displayed in order of importance :

  • Primary Button , if there is any, should always be displayed as the group's first action. ⚠️ Only one primary Action Button can be used in a Button Group.

  • The Secondary Button comes afterward

  • Menu Button comes last

💡 Please keep in mind that depending on the context, Button groupcan be displayed from left to right or from right to left.

Use only one primary action

Put primary action as the first button of the group

Do not use 2 primary actions

Accessibility

While it's not a formal WGAC rule, it's considered good practice to maintain a minimum 8px spacing between buttons to prevent accidental clicks. This spacing is automatically managed by ROMA, so please avoid altering it for larger or smaller gaps

Content

Button group content must follow button guidelines.
