Button Groups

Bootstrap Button Groups are a versatile component that allows multiple buttons to be grouped together on a single line. This feature is particularly useful for creating a set of related actions or tools within a confined space. Bootstrap’s button group classes enable developers to visually combine buttons, making interfaces cleaner and more intuitive. They are often used in toolbars, form actions, pagination, and more, providing a seamless way to present multiple actions in a unified, compact manner.
