Confirm a destructive action like deletion to prevent accidental data loss.
When to use
Use this pattern when:
- A user is about to delete data permanently
- The action cannot be undone
- You need to prevent accidental destructive actions
- Data loss would have significant impact
Considerations
- Use the destructive button variant to emphasize the danger
- Clearly state that the action cannot be undone
- Provide a cancel option that’s easy to access
- Use a tertiary button with a trash icon for the initial action
