When To Use

Use	Avoid
A text action that moves people to another page, document, email, phone number, or resource.	Avoid using this component when the content has a different job or needs a simpler plain-text treatment.
Use actions where people can immediately do something: submit a form, register for an event, download a file, open a map, or contact a group.	Avoid changing approved colours, typography, logo artwork, or class names to create a local style guide.
Use the starter markup as a copy/paste baseline for websites, Ghost HTML blocks, generated pages, or print previews.	Avoid copying placeholder IDs, links, contact details, or image paths without replacing them.
