Popover

Popover is used to bring attention to specific user interface elements.

Page navigation navigation

The Popover component provides context-specific information or options related to an element or task. It’s useful for light onboarding or instructions and may include text, links, or buttons.

Popovers support various caret positions; the default is top, with options like top-left, bottom-left, etc., for horizontal alignment adjustments.

Best Practices

  • Use sparingly to prevent cognitive overload, considering if other Popovers are present or if it appears on page load.
  • No critical information: Popovers should not display errors and must include a dismiss option.
