Maersk Design System: Dialog

Defines dialog as a disruptive overlay for decisions or acknowledgement, recommends sparing use for high urgency, and explicitly names destructive-action confirmation as a valid dialog use.

Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Ambiguous destructive action copy Flag this anti-pattern when the destructive or safe action label does not name what will happen. Every destructive control label must answer what action will happen and what object or scope it affects. Dialog guidance supports deliberate destructive confirmations rather than vague modal decisions.
Destructive action confirmation Choose destructive action confirmation when a destructive command needs a final commit review before permanent or externally visible loss. The confirmation appears only after a user-initiated destructive command. Maersk dialog guidance reserves disruptive dialogs for decisions and explicitly includes destructive-action confirmation.
