Dialog overview
A dialog is a modal surface that interrupts the user's experience to focus attention on a decision, task, or critical information. The rest of the page is blocked until the dialog is dismissed.
Focused
Dialogs focus the user on a single task or piece of critical information.
Sparing
Dialogs interrupt the experience. Overuse diminishes their impact and trains users to dismiss without reading.
Self-contained
Users should be able to make a decision using only the information inside the dialog. If they need to look elsewhere, reconsider the design.
