Usage & Behavior
General guidelines
Default state
The toggle button must start with a default selection.
Content
Within the button, there can be either text On/Off or visual “V”/”X”
The label should describe what the control will do when the switch is on
Use adjectives rather than verbs to describe labels (e.g. Show week number) and the state of the object affected.

Best practices
Toggles should provide immediate results - should not require the user to click Save or Submit to apply the new state.
Use when:
you need to clearly show the mode or state and should not require the user to click Save or Submit to apply the new state
The response is required immediately after the user “flips” the Toggle switch. They are commonly used for “On/Off” situations.
Don’t use:
The user has to choose several options
The user has to perform several actions for the change to become effective (in this case, choose checkboxes)
part of a form (use radio buttons instead)
