Inline toast

An inline toast is a brief, non-blocking message displayed within a specific area of the page rather than at a global level. It provides feedback directly adjacent to the action or element it refers to.


When to use

  • To confirm a localized action, such as copying a value or saving a field inline.
  • To surface a validation warning directly below or beside a specific form field.
  • Do not use an inline toast for global events - use the global toast or snackbar instead.

Style

  • One short sentence maximum. Ideally fewer than ten words.
  • Use present or past tense to confirm what happened. For example, Copied or Saved.
  • Do not use inline toasts for error messages that require user action - use inline validation instead.
