Usage Guidelines

Useful for providing a persistent action in the bottom right corner of the viewport. On mobile, it will adjust space to account for the sticky-cta.

This button is set to a fixed size, so be aware that space is very limited. It may be better to select an easy-to-recognize icon and use an invisible aria-label instead for screen readers.

Accessibility

Make sure the screen reader text is an accurate description of what will happen when interacting with this control, using aria-label if there is not enough room to write out a proper label.

WordPress

This component is inserted automatically into single article pages as a "back to top" button.
