Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Button group Choose a button group when two to four actions are contextually related and should be considered together at one workflow moment. Each button performs a command immediately or starts a named flow; buttons in the group do not represent persistent selected values unless the component is intentionally a segmented or toggle group. USWDS documents button groups for related actions, Back and Continue flows, group semantics, responsive stacking, and cautions against unrelated or destructive action mixing.
