Usage
Progress trackers are positioned beneath the page title and above the rest of the content.
All progress trackers require a minimum of 2 steps.
Standard User Progress Trackers are represented with a linear bar and can have a maximum of 6 steps.
Dropdown User Progress Trackers are used when there are more than 6 steps.
Typically, users have the option to navigate backwards in their workflow by clicking on any previous tracker step that is not disabled.
Disabled steps are used when backward navigation is not possible to those steps.
Reverse the direction of a progress tracker for right-to-left languages.
If possible, the first step of a form should explain how many steps will follow. Each step should inform the user about the progress they are making.
Thin User Progress Tracker
As of this writing, this variation is optional and is approved for use in the consumer segment only.
The bar for a visited step is never clickable and is always blue, to help distinguish it from steps that have not been visited.
If a step has not been visited yet, then both its bar and label are disabled gray.
On smaller breakpoints, the dropdown progress tracker is used in tandem with the horizontal track (appears beneath it) because the latter is not clickable.
