How to Use
| Elements | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Provide users with a list of Reaction options to pick from. | What format will the reactions be in? Text? Visual? Both? How will these reactions be selected? Will the options be standard for all users, or customizable? |
| Place the reactions options near the content users will be responding to | Will all reactions be visible or hidden upon first glance? The number or reactions and available space will need to be considered. |
| Provide an indicator of the type and number of reactions that were posted | Consider whether or not the names of users who reacted should be displayed or not |
