### Layout

- Labels should be close to the control they're paired with.

### Content

- Labels should describe the purpose of the control.
- Use sentence-style capitalization—only capitalize the first word. For more info, see [Capitalization](https://docs.microsoft.com/style-guide/capitalization) in the Microsoft Writing Style Guide.
- Be short and concise.
- Use nouns or short noun phrases.
- Don't use labels as instructional text. For example, "Click to get started".
