Floating action button

Description

A floating action button (FAB) is used to quickly access the most common functionality for a workspace or the application. You can define a default FAB for all workspaces or have a contextual FAB for each individual workspace.

When to use

Use on all navigation screens for quick “add” functionality. Use on all detail screens for quick “edit” functionality.

Do not use on forms, dialogs, or dashboards.

Interactions
