Design Modals Responsibly

Components · modals

Updated 2026-07-28

Modals interrupt the current workflow.
Use them only when:

A decision is required.
Information needs focus.
The action is important.

Avoid using modals for:

Simple messages.
Non-critical updates.
Marketing interruptions.

Good modals:

Have a clear purpose.
Have obvious actions.
Allow escape when appropriate.

A modal should earn the interruption.
