Behavior

The Progress Bar responds to content overflow by wrapping text labels while maintaining consistent visual representation.

Content

Content within the Progress Bar should clearly communicate the task being completed and its current status.

Keyboard Interaction

Users can navigate the Progress Bar using standard keyboard controls.

When using a Progress Bar without a label, provide one through the usage of an aria-label. For more guidance on progress indicators and status updates, see changing content best practices.
