Labels

Labels are optional in a steplist. Here are three recommended approaches:

• Label on every step – best for flows where each step needs clear identification.
• Label on the current step only – useful for simpler flows where the current step needs emphasis.
• No labels – acceptable when there's a clear page title or heading that indicates the current step.

Number of step items

We recommend using up to five step items in a steplist. While you can use fewer or more depending on the flow, too many steps can increase cognitive load and lead to user frustration or confusion.
