Loading spinner

Overview

Use a loading spinner to indicate there is a wait time while an action is occurring.

  • Place the loading spinner in the part of the page that is loading.
  • The loading spinner label should accurately explain the action that is occurring. For example, “Loading...”, “Submitting...”, “Saving...”, “Processing...”.

Default

By default the loading spinner is left aligned.
