Action Sheet

Action Sheet presents a short list of actions for one object, anchored to the bottom of the screen.

Preview

A bottom anchored list of actions about one object. The scrim blocks everything behind it, so the sheet is a decision, not a panel. Live specimen: dismiss it from the close button or the scrim.

The sheet is 396 tall by arithmetic, not by setting: 24 of top padding, then blocks of 60, 140 and 120 stacked 16 apart, then 20. It hugs, so a fuller slot grows the sheet and leaves padding and gaps alone. Enter and exit are not mirrors: in at 200 on decelerate, out at 120 on accelerate, both from the sheet preset in Motion foundations.

Content

The header block carries the message. Title 24/32 Semi Bold at minus 0.4 tracking, subheadline 16/24 Regular, 4 apart. The subheadline is a boolean; drop it and the sheet gives back 28.

One line of subheadline is what the 60 assumes. Two lines make the block 84 and the sheet 420. Expected, not broken.

Properties

No variant axis. Two text properties, one boolean and one slot.

Action Sheet ships one variant. The two actions are Button instances, so type, style, size and state live on Button.

Radius is dimensions/radius/3xl at 32 on the sheet and full on every button, the close included. The shadow is dropShadow/2xl, black at 12 percent and the same in both themes.

Guidelines

Do
Keep editingDelete draft

Put the destructive action last and give it the error tokens. A red row that always sits in the same place is a row people learn to look for.

Don't
ShareDuplicateRenameArchive

Do not stack four equal actions. A sheet settles one decision about one object. A list of everything you can do is a menu, and a menu goes in the slot.

iOS ships this pattern natively. On Android reach for a Modal Sheet instead.
