About and legal

The About and legal component is an overlay we typically use to show application information, application versions, license terms, legal regulations, copyright information and other legal content.

About and legal - Usage

The About and legal component appears when users click on the "About and legal" item (1) and overlays the current content. Closing this overlay brings users back to the original content.

About and legal overlay

  1. Application menu item - info
  2. Content header
  3. Close button
  4. Tabs
  5. Changeable content

Options​

  • Tabs: Use tabs with meaningful labels to separate content into categories.
  • Label: Title that is shown in the content header. We recommend using the default "About & legal information" wording.
  • Content: Add information about the application, e.g. version, author, copyright. It can also include legal information, e.g. terms of service, privacy policy.

Behavior​

Overlay opens on top of application content with a semi-transparent background with a background blur effect to emphasize the overlay character. Closing this overlay brings users back to the previous content.

The overlay can be closed in three ways:

  • Select the close button.
  • Click the info icon again.
  • Click another navigation item.

When the navigation menu is collapsed, the overlay stays open.
