RatingBestPractices

Layout

• Make it clear which item the rating pertains to by making sure the layout and grouping are clear when several items are on the page.
• Don't use the rating component for data that has a continuous range, such as the brightness of a photo. Instead, use a slider.

Content

• Use a five-star rating system.
• Use sentence-style capitalization—only capitalize the first word. For more info, see Capitalization in the Microsoft Writing Style Guide.
