When to use it

Where Breadcrumbs earns its place

Reach for Breadcrumbs

  • Content sits more than two levels deep and people arrive mid-tree from search
  • A file or asset browser where each parent is a real place you can open
  • Settings panels nested under sections, where the page heading alone does not say which section owns them
  • You need a way back up that costs one line instead of a sidebar

Reach for something else

  • A flat site with one level of sections: the trail only repeats the nav, so let the nav's own active state do it
  • A linear process like a checkout or an application: a step indicator shows progress and what remains, which ancestry cannot
  • The trail would be the only navigation on the page: breadcrumbs supplement a nav rather than replace one

Accessibility

06to keep

What the block ships with. Hold on to these as you make it yours.

  • Named controlsEvery icon-only button keeps a text label, so a screen reader can say what it does.
  • Keyboard firstEvery control is reachable with Tab, and its focus ring stays visible.
  • More than colourA state never rides on colour alone; a mark or a word goes with it.
  • Contrast holdsRetheme freely, but keep text at or above the contrast it ships with.
  • Calm motionFor visitors who ask for reduced motion, things simply appear.
  • Room to hitTargets stay at least 24px, with space between neighbours.
