Pagination use cases

Use pagination for very lengthy content on a single page that might be difficult to navigate, to reduce cognitive load, and to:

  • Display search results when there’s a long list of returns, reducing the time it takes to load and amount of scrolling.
  • Allow users to move through indexed content using next, previous, and page links.
  • Split into sections any long documents, like reports, that have chapters or other natural divisions.
  • Highlight the reader’s position in a sequence of content.

Stepper to track progress in a multi-step process.

Links in the button component to navigate between non-sequential pages or to external sites.
