Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Action sheet Choose action sheet when an intentional user action needs a small set of immediate choices related to the current object, draft, page, document, or selected item. The sheet opens only after a user-initiated action, not as unsolicited promotion, onboarding, or error display. Apple action-sheet guidance supports intentional-action choice sets and the distinction from alert-style interruption.
