When to Use Callouts

Good Uses

  • Important warnings before actions

  • Notes about requirements or limitations
  • Success confirmations after completing steps

Avoid Overuse

  • Don't make everything a callout
  • They lose impact when overused
  • Reserve for truly important information
  • One or two per section is usually enough

Styling Guidelines

Keep Content Concise

  • Callouts should be brief
  • One main point per callout
  • Link to more details if needed

Choose Appropriate Types

  • Match the type to your message
  • Don't use "Danger" for minor notes
