Modal

The Modal component lets the user to view content in a dialog box that overlays over existing content.

When to use

We try to minimise use of modals. Always see if your content would fit in a Hint first.
That said they may be necessary when there is additional contextual information only relevant to certain users that isn’t specifically linked to a form field.

When not to use

Do not use if the content is directly associated with a specific question or form field. In those instances use a Hint instead.

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#exampleModal">
