LabelBestPractices

Layout

• Labels should be close to the control they're paired with.

Content

• Labels should describe the purpose of the control.
• Use sentence-style capitalization—only capitalize the first word. For more info, see Capitalization in the Microsoft Writing Style Guide.
• Be short and concise.
• Use nouns or short noun phrases.
• Don't use labels as instructional text. For example, "Click to get started".
