When to use the process list snippet

Displaying high-level sequential steps. Use process lists to create a clear hierarchy and help users easily differentiate between individual steps or stages in a process.

Usability Guidelines

  • Be thoughtful about the number of steps. A process list should include between three and ten steps to prevent it from getting too unwieldy or confusing.
  • Use consistent headings. Headings should be written with a parallel structure (e.g., all start with an action verb, etc.), including consistent end punctuation, and should be short enough to fit on one line, if possible.
  • Add other types of content as needed. The body of each list item can be used to display additional rich text content including  images, and other components like buttons, images, simple lists, and links.
