See it in context
What it is
A modal sheet presents a self-contained task while retaining a visual relationship with the screen beneath it. It commonly provides Done or Cancel actions and should preserve unfinished work appropriately.
When to use it
Use for a focused edit or creation task.
Know the difference
A bottom sheet is defined by its edge; a modal sheet is defined by its presentation and blocking behavior.
Across platforms
iOS · iPadOS · macOS · visionOS
Apple platforms commonly use native sheet presentation. On a compact iPhone it may cover most of the screen; iPad and Mac presentations can retain more surrounding context.
Web · Android · Windows · Linux
On the web, manage keyboard focus and dismissal explicitly. Android and desktop implementations should use the equivalent native surface when available.
