Usage

Breadcrumb usage illustration 1

Use breadcrumbs at the top of the page. Ideally, they should be above the page title to provide quick navigation context.

Breadcrumb usage illustration 2

Don't use breadcrumbs as primary navigation: They should complement, not replace the main navigation.


Writing breadcrumb labels

Use page titles or section names: Breadcrumb labels should align with the page’s heading or main content theme.

 

Do

Use clear, descriptive labels and match the main page titles when possible:

Home › Heating › Heat Pumps

Dashboard › Reports › Monthly Performance

Don't

Use vague or generic terms or repeat the same word across levels:

Home › Section › Page

Home › Products › Products Details
