What it is
Controls that divide a long collection into numbered or sequential pages. Show the current page and provide clear next, previous, and direct page actions where useful.
When to use it
Use it when stable page boundaries help browsing, sharing, or performance.
Know the difference
Pagination loads distinct content pages; a page indicator merely communicates position.
