# Breadcrumbs

A breadcrumb is a secondary navigation showing the website hierarchy.


## Overview

### When to use it

Use for sites and applications that have a substantial amount of pages present deeper down in site structures.

### Desktop

The full path may not take up more than one row in the layout.

### Mobile

For mobile views we only display the link to the parent page, as the full path tends to take too much space.

The same version may be used in shallow hierarchies where there still is a need to easily move one step up, or back to the page from where you came.

### Overflow

The breadcrumbs component is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing developers to implement \* custom overflow solutions that best fit their specific needs.
