Our collection of elements has been developed to reflect the most common page and layout components found in Help Centers. Two examples of elements that feature prominently throughout our themes are:
-
Buttons
Buttons are used to represent important actions that a visitor can take on the page.
-
Badges
Badges offer a simple way of labeling elements and can be used to highlight important information.
Elements can be added to a page by themselves or as parts of larger patterns. When creating novel layouts and designs, we recommend starting with utilities and creating new elements once repeating combinations start to emerge.
Some elements, like breadcrumbs and pagination, are responsible for styling HTML produced by Zendesk template helpers. Although you can use these elements elsewhere using your own HTML, to customize the appearance of helper output you should use our framework’s Sass variables or custom CSS.
