The Overflow section in the Workday Canvas Design System provides structured guidance on handling content that exceeds its designated space within a user interface. It ensures that when elements extend beyond their allocated area, they remain accessible without disrupting the overall layout. The documentation outlines how different UI components, such as side panels or containers, should behave when content overflows, offering strategies like scrollbars, truncation, or expansion.
These guidelines help maintain usability and consistency across various screen sizes and devices. By applying overflow management principles, designers and developers can prevent hidden or inaccessible content, ensuring a smooth user experience. The pattern also highlights best practices for determining when to use scrolling, clipping, or alternative display methods to manage excess content effectively.
