Popconfirm
Overview#
A popconfirm is a simple and compact component that is used to ask for user confirmation.
Use when#
- We recommend the user makes a different decision than the one they are about to make, but we still want to give them the option to move forward regardless of our recommendation.
- You do not want to completely disrupt the user flow with a non critical decision.
Don't use when#
- The user is making a critical or destructive decision.
Visual Style#
- Always use the default component style.
Behavior#
- The user must interact with the interface to prompt the popconfirm. It should not appear without an interaction.
- Appears above content with which user is interacting.
- Remains open until user gives confirmation.
Editorial#
- Always write in sentence case.
- Keep your message short and descriptive.
- Use words and phrases that are familiar to the user rather than special system terms.
- Avoid apologies or ambiguity.
- Avoid visual clutter such as "Warning" or "Are you sure?".
