Breadcrumbs - Component Detail

Breadcrumbs should be used on the majority of site pages.  This helps users know where they are within the site structure and helps them navigate to other pages as needed.  

Specifications for Breadcrumb component

The Breadcrumbs should be placed at the top of the page content, just below the main navigation and above the hero or other introductory content.  The links in the Breadcrumb should refer as far back as the Home page and include the current page.
