## Background
- **Description:** An overarching guideline to recommend on interaction element hierarchy and choice between
-- links
--- normal link
--- new/red link
--- neutral link (see below)
-- normal buttons
-- quiet buttons
-- primary buttons
--- buttons with icons and label or
--- icon-only buttons
-- secondary buttons, currently quiet progressive and quiet constructive buttons
- **History:** We're currently missing strong guidelines in the Design Style Guide on when to choose which of the more basic interaction elements.
- **Known use case(s):** Different interaction elements prioritized in siloed product teams lead to confusing page composition when skins, extensions and external user-interface library
- **Considerations:**
### User stories
As a designer, I'd like to know which of the DS interaction elements are best used when.
