The “Choosing Actions” guide from Doctolib’s Oxygen Design System is a documentation page that outlines how to design and implement action elements—such as buttons, links, and other interactive components—within user interfaces. Its main focus is to help designers and developers choose the most appropriate action type based on user goals, context, and hierarchy. The page breaks down the differences between primary, secondary, and tertiary actions, and provides guidance on when to use buttons, icons, or text links depending on intent and expected user behavior.
The documentation also covers placement and layout considerations, encouraging clarity and prioritization in multi-action scenarios (e.g., modals, cards, or forms). Each principle is paired with visual examples and do/don’t recommendations to improve understanding and consistency across Doctolib’s products. This resource is especially useful for product teams working within large-scale systems who need to maintain a consistent, accessible approach to interaction design.
