Design Empty Product States

Feedback & States · empty states

Updated 2026-07-28

Empty states are opportunities, not failures.
Every empty state should answer:

What is this?
Why does it matter?
What should I do next?

Types of empty states:

First use:

Teach.

No data yet:

Encourage creation.

No results:

Help recovery.

Error:

Explain and fix.

A blank screen feels broken. A guided empty state feels intentional.
