Summary of Changes

Hello @panch1739, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request updates the user experience documentation for the vertical navigation component. The changes primarily focus on refining the guidelines for badge implementation to align with a new design, ensuring clarity on their display behavior in various states, particularly within submenus and when the navigation is collapsed.

Highlights

  • Vertical Navigation Documentation Update: The documentation for vertical navigation has been updated to reflect new design guidelines, specifically concerning the use of badges.
  • Badge Usage in Submenus: New rules have been added clarifying that badges are primarily for child items in submenus. Parent items do not display badges unless the navigation is in a collapsed state.
  • Collapsed State Badge Display: Detailed descriptions are now included for how badges appear when the vertical navigation is collapsed: numeric badges are compact, and label-only badges are shown as simple dots. The option to fully hide badges in this state is also mentioned.

Code Review

This PR updates the documentation for badges within the vertical navigation component. The added details about behavior in submenus and in the collapsed state are a good improvement. I've added one comment to resolve a contradiction in the new text for better clarity. Also, note that while the PR description mentions updated images, no image files were changed in this PR, which might lead to an inconsistency between the text and the visuals.

Items can also include [badges](../status-notifications/badges.md) to provide users with quick, at-a-glance information,
such as notifications or counts. For sub menus, badges should only be used on child elements.

The first clause, 'For submenus, badges are used only on child items,' contradicts the second clause, 'The parent item does not display a badge, except in the collapsed state.' If badges are used only on child items, a parent item would never have a badge to display in any state. This phrasing is confusing. To improve clarity, I suggest rephrasing to focus on the display behavior.

Suggested change
For submenus, badges are used only on child items. The parent item does not display a badge, except in the collapsed state.
For submenus, badges are displayed on child items. The parent item only displays a badge when the navigation is collapsed.

All good, just one question about the search in the collapsed version, it looks like not active or disabled.

The search looks like disabled in the image, maybe we have to reconsider the color of the search icon in the default state...
