Encourage action

Users should be able to understand what will happen when they click a button. Buttons should always lead with a strong verb that encourages action except in the case of common actions like "Done", "Close", "Cancel", or "OK".

Avoid articles

For labels, titles, and buttons, avoid articles to keep content short and actionable. This increases readability and encourages immediate action.

Avoid gendered pronouns

When possible, avoid gendered pronouns. If you can't, then they or their is preferable to his or her or he or she.

Active voice

Use the active voice if users need to do something. It should be clear that the subject is the one doing the action.

Actionable default

Use actionable default text if you need to explain the specific process "Create" or "Generate".

Give clear instructions

Sometimes errors happen. Help people get back to work as quickly as possible by explaining what happened and giving clear instructions on what to do next.
