What is a Toggle?

A Toggle is a useful tool for when you require an instant response or to turn different settings on/off.


When, and why?

A Toggle is useful for when you want to switch something on or off in a given context. For example, in Clear Review, we use a Toggle to turn on 'Giving Feedback anonymously' when a user is giving Feedback.

On the left toggle default, middle toggle disabled, on the right toggle read only


Toggle types

The following Toggle types are available:

TypeDescription
DefaultThe default Toggle is a standard looking Toggle that is grey when toggled 'off' and blue when toggled 'on'. It has an optional label to the right hand side
As choice buttonThe same as the default Toggle but contained within a selectable button to give more emphasis. It also contains a title and subtitle to provide more descriptive labelling

Using a Toggle

Toggle labels

Labels should be on the right-hand side of the Toggle. They should also be in sentence case and both the Toggle and the label should be contained within the same columns.

Toggle placement

Toggles should not be used for yes or no responses - they should only be used for turning things on or off. If you want a yes or no response, you should consider something like a Select or Radio button
