✓ Do This

  • Use page controls for flat, peer content (like onboarding)
  • Keep page count small (under 10)
  • Make current page indicator clearly visible
  • Support both tap and swipe interactions

✗ Don't Do This

  • Don't use page controls for hierarchical content
  • Don't use more than ~10 pages
  • Don't make dots too small to tap
  • Don't use page controls as the only navigation method
