# Radio Group (/docs/components/radio-group)



<ComponentPreview name="radio-group-demo" />

## Overview [#overview]

Use Radio Group when the user must choose one option from a set.

Radio groups are useful for plans, visibility, shipping speed, sort order, and settings where choices are mutually exclusive.

## Anatomy [#anatomy]

A radio group has a group label, radio items, item labels, optional descriptions, and selection state.

## Behavior [#behavior]

Show all important options when the list is short. Use Select when the list is long or when space is limited.

## Accessibility [#accessibility]

Group radio items with a clear label. Each item should have its own label, and keyboard users should be able to move through options with arrow keys.

## Examples [#examples]
