Interface: Overflow
Description
Allows users to press a button to view a list of options. Unlike the select menu, there is no typeahead field, and the button always appears with an ellipsis ('…') rather than customizable text. As such, it is usually used if you want a more compact layout than a select menu, or to supply a list of less visually important actions after a row of buttons. You can also specify simple URL links as overflow menu options, instead of actions.
