Breadcrumb
Breadcrumbs show the navigational hierarchy of a page.

Guiding
Breadcrumbs help wayfinding no matter how many layers.
Hierarchal
Breadcrumbs show a user's current location within the hierarchy of a site.
Contextual
Breadcrumbs help users understand what screen they're on relative to the information architecture.
Default
By default, the first item is the root category page and the last item is the most immediate parent page. Pages within the hierarchy are separated by a chevron to indicate the hierarchical relationship.

Last item as current
The last item in the hierarchy can be the current page title if it is valuable to include, and it should be static, not interactive.

Overflow
Use an overflow control to collapse pages when there are 4 or more labels visible to avoid extending elements offscreen.
Overflow can also be used if multiple parent pages have truncated labels.
The width of the parent container informs how many items are collapsed into an overflow and whether or not the last page is truncated.

Character count
While titles can vary in size, the preferred character count for titles is 24 characters and under.

Multiple long labels
Only 1 label should be truncated within the hierarchy. If multiple labels are long, collapse all but the last page into the overflow menu.

Small
Web collapses all parent pages into an overflow and only surfaces the last item. Native apps do not use breadcrumbs. Instead, use the top navigation bar with a back action.

Medium
Native apps do not use breadcrumbs. Instead, use the top navigation bar and a back action, or a navigation rail.

Large
Breadcrumbs on larger screens are located below the global navigation and above the page title or other page content.
