Buttons

Use buttons to signal actions.

Standard Buttons

Use the standard button styles to convey the most important action on you want the users to take. For actions outside of the top two actions, use the other buttons. See the USWDS Button Usage for more on how to use buttons.

Note: the vertical alignment of a button is governed by the layout grid.
