Guidelines for use

Purpose:

The information sidebar is used to highlight useful information in the context of a process or step.

When to use this component:

  • Used in tools for information the user may find useful but is not of high importance.

Style rules:

  • The height of the sidebar is equal to the height of the content on the right side of the section. When sidebar content extends past this height it is hidden and revealed with a "Read more" button.

Content rules: 

  • Information sidebars have a recommended 1200 character limit. Character limits above this length cause too much scrolling for the user.
