Callout

Use a callout to provide supporting information that users should be aware of.

Use callouts to:

  • Inform users that the money invested is at risk
  • Display disclaimers when promoting a product or service
  • Provide supporting context that applies to the surrounding content
  • Share information that users should be aware of, but does not require immediate action

Do not use callouts when:

  • The information requires immediate user attention — use an alert instead
  • The content needs interactive elements like links or buttons — use an alert instead
  • The information is critical to completing a task

Placement

Place callouts inline with other components, positioned above the content they relate to.

Maintain spacing around the callout to show the relationship between the message and surrounding content.
