Pagination

UXnavigationdatapagestable

Content split into discrete, numbered pages that users navigate explicitly.

When to use

  • Search results where position matters (page 2 vs. page 10)
  • Data tables in admin dashboards
  • When users need to bookmark or share a specific page of results

Examples

  • Google Search results pages
  • Admin table with Previous / 1 2 3 / Next controls

See this in the wild

Analyze a site and look for pagination in the breakdown.
