Switch

Use switches when your users want to change between two distinct values. For example, if they need to change between euro and kwh.

In most use cases, this configuration action will change another interface element:\ for example on a dashboard other data is displayed after the switch has been clicked.

The switch is an important element of the interface, because the user often has an interaction with it. This is why it must be visible at a glance if a switch has been selected.
