Confirmation modals are powerful tools in user interface design that provide a layer of protection against accidental actions and help users make informed decisions. However, confirmation modals are disruptive and can be distracting to the user. Use them sparingly.
When to use
- An immediate response is required from the user.
- Confirm a user decision.
Anatomy

- Title
- Body
- Actions
Title
A confirmation’s purpose should be communicated by its title.
Titles should:
- Contain a brief, clear statement or question.
- Avoid apologies (“Sorry for the interruption”), alarm (“Warning!”), or ambiguity (“Are you sure?”)
- Write in sentence case, capitalize the first word and proper nouns only.
- Avoid articles (the, a, an) to keep content short and actionable.
- Avoid using punctuation.
