@aha The correct way is eminently inapplicable if what the confirmation is meant to confirm is permanent deletion. (Which in some circumstances you might be required, by law or otherwise, to offer as an option.)

@atjn "Making it easy to revert the change" is often not an option. The whole point is to notify them of an action that is inherently irreversible.

A question for UI/UX experts.

If you need to get confirmation from a user, what's an alternative for a pop-up modal?

The advertising industry, with cookie consent, has conditioned people to just OK them.

I have lost count how many support requests I've seen that can be directly traced to a person not reading, or possibly not even noticing, an "are you sure you want to do this?" dialog, even when said pop-up precisely described the consequences of proceeding.

Boosts for reach appreciated!
