Dropdown / Side Nav
Dropdowns menus allow users to read or select different options.
Example
When to use
Dropdowns should be used:
When you have limited space or your list is too long.
For example, having more than 7 items in a predetermined list.
For bringing users to a different page, or section within a page.
Dropdowns should not be used:
When requiring users to select from a predetermined list of answers.
Better alternatives would be the checkbox or radios component.
for including checkboxes as users may not know how to select multiple options presented to them in a dropdown.
