Modals

Introduction

Modals focus the user’s attention exclusively on one task or piece of information via a window that sits on top of the page content. Modals interrupt a user’s workflow by design. When active, a user is blocked from the on-page content and cannot return to their previous workflow until the modal task is completed or the user dismisses the modal. If a user needs to repeatably preform a task, consider making the task do-able from the main page.

Large

Choose the size of the modal by it’s content. A large modal is between 768px - 1024px wide and will appear full-screen on mobile.
