GUIDANCE
Information that needs to be decided or corrected should be longer than the toast.
EXAMPLES
“3 items moved to archive” with “Undo” button.
Place useful actions in the toast when the user can edit or move on now.
Use the keyboard to press undo before the toast disappears; state must be restored.
Example After storing the document, the toast has an Undo button.
The icon identifies the result, but the text content must clearly state the task that occurred.
Hide icon and read toast; Users still distinguish a successful save from a failed send.
Example “Draft saved” comes with a confirmation stamp.
Place the toast in a visible place without covering the main button, keyboard or reading area.
Open keyboard and mobile navigation bar; toast must be readable.
Example Toast is located on the mobile tabbar with a safe area.
Allow enough time to read; Information that needs processing or has a node should not disappear too soon.
Give focus to the toast action; The closing deadline needs to be stopped or there is a way to review it.
Example Undo Toast retains when the user is focusing the Undo button.
