Vertical stepper

A stepper/wizard leads a user through a process step by step. It contains a series of single-step instructions, and is often used for a setup and configuration tasks or a longer workflow. Read more about steppers/wizards in the UX Guidelines.
Also you can check out the wizards.

Use when

  • The user needs guidance through a multi-step process, for instance if it's a low frequency task or the steps to take are unclear
  • Steps have to be done in a specific order
  • The task has a clear start and end

Design

Compressed version

Here you can find an example of the compressed version for the vertical stepper:

With content

You can get 2 types of vertical steppers with content. One type has the stepper outside the panels and other example has the stepper inside the panels. You can find both examples below and also the code snipet in the right section (code section).

Stepper inside the panels

Stepper outside the panels

No ellipsis

Here you can find an example of the stepper where the labels will be visible all the time, no ellipsis will appear if the label is too long. We don't recommend you to have more then 2 rows per label.

Transitions

If you'd like a smooth animation to be applyed on each step as you go through them just add .transition class in the parent div.
