When writing a User Manual, throughout, as an example, we are saying:

"Clicking the sign-in button takes you to the _________"
I'm beginning to think that the 'exact name' of one of the application's
buttons ought to be bolded, put in quotes, or something, to make it more
communicative/identifiable in the text.
Is there a style industry standard for this? Thanks,
