 Paths match the way pages are routed: letter case and trailing slashes count, while the query string and hash are ignored. Links to other origins and non-GET links are never active. An `aria-current` or `data-void-active` you pass to `Link` replaces the computed value.
 
+### Pending links
+
+While a page loads, `Link` adds `data-void-pending` to every link to it. Use it to show that a click is being handled:
+
+```css
+a[data-void-pending] {
+  opacity: 0.6;
+  /* Skip visits that finish quickly, such as to a prefetched page */
+  transition: opacity 0.15s 0.1s;
+}
+```
+
+A link is pending only while its exact destination loads. The path, query and hash must all match, so a link to `/users?page=2` isn't pending while `/users?page=3` loads. A non-GET link, which renders a `<button>`, is pending while a request with its method to its `href` runs. `router.refresh()` reloads the current page, so links to it are pending during a refresh.
+
+A `data-void-pending` you pass to `Link` replaces the computed value. For a loading indicator that covers the whole page, use [`useNavigation()`](../../reference/api/pages.md).
+
 ### Prefetching
 
 Add `prefetch` to a `Link` to load its page before the user clicks, so the visit doesn't wait for the server:

 Svelte `Link` GET `data` is merged into the rendered `href` query string. Primitive values are serialized with `String(value)`, arrays become repeated keys, `null` and `undefined` are omitted, and nested objects throw. `prefetch` and `reloadDocument` are GET-only and throw for mutation links.

+| `Link`                             | Solid component for SPA navigation. Renders `<a>` for GET, `<button>` for non-GET methods. Props: `href`, `method`, `data`, `prefetch`, `cacheFor`, `preserveScroll`, `preserveState`, `replace`, `reloadDocument`, `viewTransition`, `activeMatch`, `onNavigate`. Adds `aria-current="page"` and `data-void-active` to the link to the current page ([active links](../../guide/pages-routing/overview.md#active-links)), and `data-void-pending` to links to a page while it loads ([pending links](../../guide/pages-routing/overview.md#pending-links)). |

 Solid `Link` GET `data` is merged into the rendered `href` query string. Primitive values are serialized with `String(value)`, arrays become repeated keys, `null` and `undefined` are omitted, and nested objects throw. `prefetch` and `reloadDocument` are GET-only and throw for mutation links.
