Alerts

Something that stays true until it's resolved.

An alert stays on the page, above the content it's about, until the situation changes.

When to use

  • A lasting condition: the period is closed, the document is read-only, an integration is disconnected
  • A problem the user must fix before saving, with the fix spelled out

When not to use

  • Confirming an action that just happened; use a toast
  • Several alerts stacked on top of each other
