Overview
In-page alerts are used on a single webpage. They communicate information that will help the user complete their task on that page.
In-page alerts can notify users of a change in a process, missing information, or required attachments. They can be used in interactive and read-only contexts.
Choose a global alert for critical information or emergency notifications.
