What is Dropdown Buttons?
Overview
A dropdown button is a clickable button that is used to reveal a list of items in a dropdown list. When a user selects an action from the drop-down list, the text of the action button changes accordingly.
A dropdown button allows the user to choose from listed keywords or selected items. The button displays the currently selected item as well as an arrow that opens a menu for selecting another item. Dropdown buttons are design elements that when clicked/tapped reveal additional hidden content.
