# Material Design 3
|
|
|
|
Our dialogs are based on the latest version of Material Design. Specs and guidelines can be found on its [website](https://m3.material.io/components/dialogs/overview).

|
# Highlighted guidelines
|
|
|
|
## Content
|
|
* A best practice is to always use a title, even if it is optional by Material guidelines.
|
|
* People mainly read the title and a button. Put the most important information in those two.
|
|
* Try to avoid user generated content in the title, this could make the title unreadable long.
|
|
* If users become unsure, they read the description. Make sure this explains what will happen.
|
|
* Strive for minimalism.
|
|
|
|
## Buttons and X-icon
|
|
* Keep the labels short, for example `Save`, `Delete`, `Enable`.
|
|
* Dialog with actions must always have a discard button. On desktop a `Cancel` button and X-icon, on mobile only the X-icon.
|
|
* Destructive actions should be a red warning button.
|
|
* Alert or confirmation dialogs only have buttons and no X-icon.
|
|
* Try to avoid three buttons in one dialog. Especially when you leave the dialog task unfinished.
|
|
|
|
