Guidelines

When to use

  • When there's a dangerous or destructive action to perform on behalf of the user.

When not to use

  • When there's neutral or non-dangerous information or actions to perform on behalf of the user, use a generic dialog instead.

Usage

  • Confirmation dialog must never appear on its own without user's interaction (like clicking a button).

Content

  • Warn user about the consequences of the action they're about to perform.
  • Use sentence case everywhere.
  • Don't punctuate the end of the title.
  • Always end a sentence with a period in description.
  • Don't ask "Are you sure?". Instead, explain the consequences of this action.
  • Confirm button text must be explicit and avoid generic words like "Confirm", "Submit", "Yes", "Delete". For example, a good button text would be "Delete source".
