What it is

Button is the main action component in Flowboard.

What it’s best for

Use it when the user should take one clear next step.

When to use it

  • Continue through onboarding
  • Start a free trial
  • Upgrade to a paid plan
  • Open the next screen in a guided flow

When not to use it

  • Do not place several equally strong buttons on the same screen.
  • Do not use a button style so subtle that users miss the next step.

How to add it in the dashboard

  1. Open the screen in the dashboard.
  2. Add Button from the Components panel.
  3. Select the button on the canvas.
  4. In the properties panel, set the label, action, size, and appearance.
  5. Compare it against the rest of the screen to confirm it is the main focal point.

Key parameters

Example use cases

  • A “Continue” button at the end of each onboarding page
  • A “Start free trial” button on a pricing screen
  • An “Upgrade now” button under a premium feature comparison

Best practices

  • Keep one clear primary button on each screen.
  • Start the label with a verb whenever possible.
  • Make the button easy to spot without overwhelming the rest of the layout.
  • If you need a secondary action, make it visually quieter than the primary one.

Common mistakes

  • Showing multiple primary actions with the same visual weight
  • Using vague labels such as “Submit” when the real outcome is more specific
  • Styling the button so heavily that it feels disconnected from the product
