Best practices¶

Transitional text to show something is happening¶

• Use -ing verbs and ellipses (…)
• Do not use informal, transitional wording
• Confirmation messages: Use the same verb as the transitional text

Empty-state¶

• Empty-state wording tells the user the empty space is intentional and should be there, i.e. not an error
• Use the Empty state component with three parts of a message: 1. title 2. explanation 3. action
• Use wording to move the user forward
• Use wording to help users understand the function of the empty state
• Do not over communicate
• Use wording to show users how to resolve the empty state, e.g. with an action, click, etc.
