Headings

    March 9, 2025

    Headings are text components that mark off areas of Instruction Text or other interactive components in the UI.

    They can appear at the top of pages, dialogs, or break up sections of related components.

    To write headings in UI copy, use the following guidelines:

    Guideline Acceptable Not Acceptable

    Content

    Page, dialog, and section headings should either:

    • Be a simple noun-phrase that explains what the user can find on that page.

    • Start with a verb that accurately describes the action the user can take on that page.

    Nodes

    Buckets

    Copy connection string

    Services

    Your Services

    Decision Dialogs should always have a heading written as a question, asking the user to confirm an action.

    Bucket creation

    Capitalization

    Write all Decision Dialogs headings in sentence case.

    Write main headings that appear as part of pages in title case.

    Capitalize proper nouns or other terms that are capitalized elsewhere in the UI.

    There might be instances where it’s more appropriate to write other main headings in sentence case. Use your best judgment - are you writing more of a sentence, or just a single noun?

    Punctuation

    Try to avoid adding commas (,), unless you need to list multiple items.

    Make sure to use the Oxford comma.
