blade

  • Article

Avoid talking about UI elements and instead try to discuss what the customer needs to do. If you have to refer to a pane in the Azure portal, use blade.

When you must mention a blade:

  • Always name the blade except in general references to a blade or blades.

  • Use sentence-style capitalization for the blade name.
    Example
    the Resource group blade

  • Don't capitalize blade, but always include blade in the blade title or subtitle.

  • In a blade title or subtitle, use a plus sign (+) instead of and or an ampersand (&). Include a space on each side of the plus sign.

  • Add an article, such as a or the, to a blade name that consists of a verb and a singular noun.
    Example
    Add a connector blade. (Not Add connector blade.)

  • Use on to describe the contents of a blade.
    Example
    On the Web app blade, name your site.

  • Use open and close as verbs with blades.
