# Toggles

A toggle is a UI element that turns a specific feature on or off. It changes visually to indicate when it's turned on or off.

It appears as a small switch in the UI:

When you need to describe a toggle in the UI:

* Refer to the toggle by its name, followed by the word `toggle.`  
For example, the **Transaction** toggle.
* Bold the toggle name.
* Tell the user to `turn on` or `turn off` the toggle.  
For example, turn on the **Transaction** toggle.
