Interaction

For single action button, clicking on the icon will either carry an action or set the button in active state.

If the button is in Active state, clicking again will return to regular  (except toggle icon).

Toggle buttons :

  • can act bit different by switching between 2 connected icons
  • Do not have Disabled or Active state but only Hover


Best practices

Only use when the Icon’s meaning is unambiguous.

Consider pairing with a Tooltip to describe the Icon’s underlying action
