## Alert dialog

<Badge color="orange">In progress</Badge> | *Storybook link coming soon*

Alert dialogs are considered high-emphasis communication and should be used sparingly. High-priority feedback is urgent and requires immediate action. These messages are more noticeable and disruptive. They should draw attention or disrupt the user's flow.

### Behavior

* Alert dialogs should be used to confirm a destructive action or a warning or issue that requires immediate action.
* Alert dialogs should not disappear or close until the user has confirmed the action or dismissed the dialog.
* Alert dialogs should not be used to confirm an action that the user can resolve in a separate context.

### Often used with

* Primary and secondary [Button](/aura-design-system/primitives/button) in the footer; optional [Separator](/aura-design-system/primitives/separator) when body scrolls; copy kept short—defer forms to [Dialog](/aura-design-system/primitives/dialog) when possible.
