Breadcrumbs show the user's path inside an application hierarchy. Use them to help users understand where they are and move back to parent levels such as projects, documents, settings sections, folders, or entity detail pages.
Use them for:
- Hierarchical pages: Show paths like Home / Projects / Project A / Settings.
- Parent navigation: Let users return to higher levels of the current structure.
- Object context: Show where an entity, document, folder, or admin page belongs.
- Global layout breadcrumbs: Use the breadcrumbs store when the layout should update breadcrumbs dynamically.
Do not use Breadcrumbs as the main app navigation, a tab switcher, a filter list, or a wizard progress indicator. Use Navigation, Sidebar, Sidenav, Tabs, or Stepper for those cases.
