## Overview
A lead space is positioned at the top of a web page and serves as one of the most efficient and powerful communication
tools. Its primary purpose is to orient the user and quickly inform them of the page content.
-There are five variants, designed for specific situations. [Super](#super) is the most prominent variant. It is used at
-the start of a user's journey, for homepages and landing pages. [Tall](#tall) and [Medium](#medium) are variants that
-follow the users throughout their pre-purchase or post-purchase journey, and [Short](#short) is a height efficient type
-of lead space, for users that are engaged in the purchase stages of their journey. [Centered](#centered) lead space can
-be a powerful tool for long-form reading experiences.
+There are five variants split into two types, each designed for specific situations. Four size variants are available for left-aligned lead spaces, and a fifth variant exists for center-aligned lead spaces. [See the table below](#deciding-what-to-use).

+1. **Wayfinding:** Optional elements that provide additional hierarchical context to the page.
+2. **Heading:** Heading has the highest information hierarchy on a lead space, and should be succinct and descriptive.
+3. **Subheading:** Optional copy can be added for additional description.
+4. **Button group:** A group of CTAs that provides options for users to continue their journey.
+5. **Background media:** Optional background that adds an image or video for visual interest.

### Deciding what to use
-| Variants | Use cases |
-| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| [Super](#super) | Used mainly for home pages, landing pages and more expressive marketing experiences. Available for left-aligned content. |
-| [Tall](#tall) | This variant is the default lead space. It is more efficient when used for pre-purchase learn pages. Available for left-aligned content. |
-| [Medium](#medium) | Closely related to Tall, this variant can be used for pre-purchase and post-purchase stage. It is generally a safe choice, because it captures attention while still allowing a lot of content above the fold. Available for left-aligned content. |
-| [Short](#short) | This is the shortest, yet very efficient variant. It is mostly used in the purchase stage experiences, for example, the product pricing pages, where the users are more focused on the product or service details. Available for left-aligned content. |
-| [Centered](#centered) | This is a special variant that can be used for learning pages, long-form reading experiences, and use cases. When center-aligning content, the Lead space height varies based on the content. |
+| Variants | Height (desktop) | Use cases |

+| [Super](#super) | 640px | The most prominent variant. Used mainly for home pages, landing pages, and more expressive marketing experiences. _Available for left-aligned content_. |
+| [Tall](#tall) | 560px | The second most prominent variant. Tall is more efficient when used for pre-purchase learning pages. _Available for left-aligned content_. |
+| [Medium](#medium) | 480px | Closely related to Tall, this variant can be used for the pre-purchase and post-purchase stage in the user journey. It captures attention while allowing for more content in the lead space. _Available for left-aligned content_. |
+| [Short](#short) | 320px | The shortest in terms of height, but the most visually streamlined. It is mostly used in purchase stage experiences, such as product pricing pages, where users are more focused on the product or service details. _Available for left-aligned content_. |
+| [Centered](#centered) | Variable | This is a special variant that can be used for learning pages, long-form reading experiences, and other use cases. When center-aligning content, the Lead space height varies to accommodate the content. |

+All lead space variants have the option to include a background image or video to create visual interest from the first moment in an experience. In both cases, a gradient can be enabled on top of the media so that the lead space content passes accessibility requirements. If the overlay is disabled, be sure that the media does not create contrast issues with the lead space content.
#### Background image
-An image can be used in the Lead space to draw attention to the first content on the page. At the medium and small breakpoints, the image will appear behind the heading, body copy, and button group. When creating imagery for the lead space, keep the focus of the image on the area that appears without the gradient.

#### Background video
-A video can be used instead of an image as an animated background for the Lead space. Videos are paused by default, and the user can begin the video by clicking the play button. Like background images, ensure that the focus of the video is clearly visible based on the location of the gradient overlay.

-### Parent navigation
+### Gradient
+
+The gradient that sits between the background media and the other lead space elements can be added or removed based on the asset needs. We strongly recommend using the gradient when the heading content would be difficult to read due to low contrast with the background. If using an illustration in the background, be aware of visual elements that would overlap with the lead space copy that would make it harder to read without a gradient. See the [design specs](https://www.figma.com/file/Gfb6xdHwKdBgNloNqlSbnG/Lead-space-v2?type=design&node-id=1031%3A20561&mode=design&t=xrvdzPlkLXOPoTg8-1) for illustration guidance by lead space size.

+### Heading
+
+#### Heading type
+
+For the left-aligned lead spaces, the type token can be one of two options: a larger display token or a smaller heading token. Note that for the Short lead space, only the smaller heading token is available.
+
+#### Heading highlight
+
+The lead space heading can be modified to highlight a word or phrase. This can be used to highlight product names, industries, or particular value. The highlighted word or phrase can be anywhere in the heading, but it should only ever appear once in a single lead space. This only applies to the heading, and does not extend to any other lead space element. The highlight is available for both lead space heading types.

+### Wayfinding
+
+All lead space variants have the option to include wayfinding elements – either breadcrumbs or tag links – to provide feedback on where the user is in the experience.
#### Breadcrumbs
-[Breadcrumbs](https://www.carbondesignsystem.com/components/breadcrumb/usage/) can be added above the Lead space heading, replacing the Tag group to cover a wider range of needs and

navigational purposes. Breadcrumbs work well when navigation has a clear, linear hierarchy.

-A collection of [Tag links](https://www.ibm.com/standards/carbon/components/tag-link) can be added to the Lead space, and always appear above the headline to establish context. Tag links can be clicked to navigate to other pages within IBM.com. Tag links work well in cases where the navigation does not have a clear, linear hierarchy. We recommend using more than one Tag link to represent a polyhierarchical structure.

+#### Tags
+
+A collection of [ read-only tags](https://carbondesignsystem.com/components/tag/usage/) can be added to the lead space, and always appear above the headline to establish context. Tags are not interactive, and instead provide more context to the lead space by categorizing or "tagging" content. Tags work well in cases where the navigation does not have a clear, linear hierarchy. We recommend using more than one tag to represent a polyhierarchical structure.

+## Behaviors
+
+On small breakpoint (320px), the background image or video switches to an inline image and is positioned last, after the button group, as shown below.
+
+Within the button group the primary button is first in the button order. On mobile, the buttons stack with the primary button appearing first.
