Redlines: We don't include redline comps because it's always more accurate to use developer tools to inspect the coded components, or a plugin such as the Prism Redline Tool.
Progress indicators provide users continuous feedback regarding the progress of an operation. The visual element helps the user understand something is happening and makes the action feel faster and more responsive.
A progress indicator bar should be used when the completion status can be estimated in real-time. The bar gradually fills with color as the operation progresses.
A loading indicator animation should be used when the completion status cannot be estimated, or when a visual element is updating. The animation reinforces that the operation is occurring.
Some operations can be controlled by the user. In these cases, the user controlled progress indicator is accompanied by options such as Cancel or Pause. Such controls appear beneath the bar and are left-aligned.
Title case, 2-3 words maximum.
Do not combine actions in a label (exception:
"Customize & Buy").
If standard labels don't fit the button's
purpose, align label with the task the user is attempting.
