When referencing the terms, tools, buttons, headings, etc. on a page, use the exact wording that the item you are referencing uses.
Use the Exact Wording and Capitalization
Refer to application interface terms just as they appear in the interface. Doing so allows people using screen readers and/or people who think in concrete terms to continue undeterred.
- When an interface element is identified with a screentip, refer to it using the screentip text.
- When an interface element is not identified, an accessibility issue, describe its function and location. You can also provide a screenshot.
Bold the Application Interface Terms
Format application references bold. Using bold allows users to more quickly follow your instructions.
