Description
...
The switch must start with a default selection.
Content
The switch consists of:
Main button area, including:
a colored background, which changes when the state is changed.
a round toggle button, which toggles between the two sides when the state is changed.
(optional) a label within the button area, describing the current state. This can be either ✓ and ☓, or On and Off.
A preceding label, describing what the switch will do when it is in the On state (e.g. Show only employees).

Best practices
Use:
when a change is required immediately after the user toggles the switch.
where there are On / Off options.
when you want to emphasize an action, for example in a ribbon.
Don’t use:
where there are more than 2 options
where the user has to perform several actions before the change will become effective → use Check Boxes instead.
Inside a form → use Radio Buttons or a single Check Box instead.
