Changes

Button label guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core label rules
docs/guidelines/language/menu-functions-and-ui-labels/button-labels.md
Defines concise, action-oriented labels with explicit verbs and nouns, sentence case, consistent terminology, and recommended examples.
Interaction-specific labels
docs/guidelines/language/menu-functions-and-ui-labels/button-labels.md
Documents punctuation, destructive actions, dropdown options, workflow navigation, and specific multi-step labels.
States and accessibility
docs/guidelines/language/menu-functions-and-ui-labels/button-labels.md
Documents loading and completed states, icon-button aria-label values, dos and don’ts, and related resources.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7156a

The new documentation is mergeable with owner follow-up: an empty heading, inconsistent button-label examples, and broken links or punctuation could make the page confusing or render incorrectly, but the impact is limited to documentation quality.

- Line 11: Remove the empty level-one heading at the start of the document, or
replace it with “Button labels” only if the page does not already receive its
heading from frontmatter.
- Around line 140-152: Update the button-label examples in the “dos-and-don’ts”
guidance and the multi-step workflow examples to follow the noun-repetition
rule: qualify action labels such as “Add,” “Apply,” and object-specific verbs
with the relevant noun. If immediate-context controls like “Back,” “Cancel,” and
“Skip” are intended exceptions, define that exception clearly in the guidance
and apply it consistently.
- Line 248: The note’s Markdown links are invalid and contains a stray
apostrophe. In the button-label guidance, change the Punctuation link to the
existing Buttons and punctuation anchor, replace or remove the empty Forms and
input fields link using a relative documentation path, and change “recommend'”
to “recommend”; ensure no empty links remain.

Use our [UI terminology](../menu-functions-and-ui-labels/ui-terminology.md) section to clearly explain, differentiate and define what happens when buttons are activated, such as using "add" to insert items and "create" to make new items.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Align these examples with the noun-repetition rule.

Line 104 requires button labels to repeat the heading noun, except in space-constrained mobile views. Lines 145-146 use Add and Apply without nouns. Lines 327-334 use bare object-specific verbs across a multi-step workflow, which conflicts with Line 123. Qualify these actions, or define a clear exception for immediate-context controls such as Back, Cancel, and Skip.

Also applies to: 327-334
