OverlayPanel
OverlayPanels are surfaces that allow users to view optional information or complete sub-tasks in a workflow while keeping the context of the current page. The most common example of OverlayPanel displays content in a panel that opens from the side of the screen for the user to read or input information. OverlayPanels have default, internal padding for content.
also known as Drawer, Panel, Tray, Sheet

Usage guidelines
When to use
- Performing an optional sub-task within a larger task.
- Quick bulk edits on info from a Table.
- Presenting help info while maintaining the current page and its context.
When not to use
- Getting user confirmation on an action. Use a Modal instead.
- Displaying system errors or notices. Consider a BannerCallout instead.
- Any time a separate, designated URL is desired.
Best practices
Do
Use OverlayPanel for sub-tasks within a large workflow that are optional, like creating a new audience list while creating a campaign.
Do
Use OverlayPanel for quick edits within libraries or tables of content where you expect users to be making multiple edits in one session.
Do
Use the same size OverlayPanel on a product surface. For example, if filling out a form requires multiple OverlayPanels to be opened to complete different subtasks, then all OverlayPanels in that form should be the same width. When in doubt, pick the widest size needed for the entire flow.
Don't
Use OverlayPanel for required tasks or main tasks, like logging in. Put those tasks within the content of the page instead.
Don't
Use OverlayPanel if edits or sub-tasks require more than two steps. Bring users to a full page experience or consider using Accordions to section out content.
Accessibility
Labels
accessibilityDismissButtonLabel: provides a short, descriptive label for screen readers as a text alternative to the Dismiss button. Populates thearia-labelattribute on the Dismiss button.accessibilityLabel: provides a short, descriptive label for screen readers to contextualize the purpose of OverlayPanel. Please don’t repeat the same text being passed in the heading prop, but instead provide something that summarizes the OverlayPanel’s purpose. For instance, if theheadingis "Pin Builder", theaccessibilityLabelcan be "Create a new Pin". Populates thearia-labelattribute on the entire dialog.

Focus management
When OverlayPanel opens, focus should be placed on the first interactive element within the OverlayPanel. When OverlayPanel is closed, focus should be placed back on the button that triggered the OverlayPanel.
Localization
Be sure to localize all text strings. Note that localization can lengthen text by 20 to 30 percent.
Note that accessibilityDismissButtonLabel, dismissConfirmation.message, dismissConfirmation.subtext, dismissConfirmation.primaryAction.accessibilityLabel,
dismissConfirmation.primaryAction.text, dismissConfirmation.secondaryAction.accessibilityLabel,
dismissConfirmation.secondaryAction.text are optional as DefaultLabelProvider provides default strings. Use custom labels if they need to be more specific.
OverlayPanel depends on DefaultLabelProvider for internal text strings. Localize the texts via DefaultLabelProvider. Learn more

Subcomponents
DismissingElement
DismissingElement is a render props component that provides access to the callback function onDismissStart. onDismissStart triggers the exit-animation from external trigger points in a component. Internal trigger points are pressing ESC key, built-in dismiss buttons, and clicking outside the component. Use DismissingElement when external elements to the component, such as header, footer or any content element require dismissing the animated component.

Heading
As a default, OverlayPanel consists of a heading and content passed as children. The heading of OverlayPanel will have a drop shadow when content scrolls under it.

Sub-heading
A subHeading is a container that can be used for additional navigation or sub-text. The sub-heading sits at the top under the heading, and will always remain visible if the content scrolls.

Sizes
OverlayPanel comes in 3 sizes: small (sm), medium (md), and large (lg).
- Small OverlayPanels (540px) are primarily used for displaying information or acting as a point to link to other content. They are the least commonly used.
- Medium OverlayPanels (720px) are the standard size offered for content.
- Large OverlayPanels (900px) should be used in cases where there may be columns of content or navigation where the additional space is required to keep the content at a comfortable reading width.
import { Fragment, useReducer } from 'react'; import { Accordion, Box, Button, CompositeZIndex, Fieldset, FixedZIndex, Flex, Layer, OverlayPanel, RadioButton, Text, } from 'gestalt'; export default function Example() { function reducer( state, action ) { switch (action.type) { case 'small': return { heading: 'Small overlay panel', size: 'sm' }; case 'medium': return { heading: 'Medium overlay panel', size: 'md' }; case 'large': return { heading: 'Large overlay panel', size: 'lg' }; case 'none': return {}; default: throw new Error(); } } const initialState = Object.freeze({}); const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState); const HEADER_ZINDEX = new FixedZIndex(10); const sheetZIndex = new CompositeZIndex([HEADER_ZINDEX]); return ( <Fragment> <Box padding={8}> <Box padding={1}> <Button onClick={() => { dispatch({ type: 'small' }); }} text="Small OverlayPanel" /> </Box> <Box padding={1}> <Button onClick={() => { dispatch({ type: 'medium' }); }} text="Medium OverlayPanel" /> </Box> <Box padding={1}> <Button onClick={() => { dispatch({ type: 'large' }); }} text="Large OverlayPanel" /> </Box> </Box> {state.size && ( <Layer zIndex={sheetZIndex}> <OverlayPanel accessibilityDismissButtonLabel="Dismiss" accessibilityLabel="Example overlay panel to demonstrate different sizes" footer={ <Flex justifyContent="end"> <Button color="red" text="Apply changes" /> </Flex> } heading={state.heading} onDismiss={() => { dispatch({ type: 'none' }); }} size={state.size} > <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 8, }} > <Text weight="bold">Bids</Text> <Flex gap={{ row: 4, column: 0, }} > <Text> Adjust bids for the selected ad groups below.

Preventing close on outside click
By default, users can click outside OverlayPanel (on the overlay) to close it. This can be disabled by setting closeOnOutsideClick to false. This may be implemented in order to prevent users from accidentally clicking out of the OverlayPanel and losing information they’ve entered. The ESC key can still be used to close the OverlayPanel.
import { Fragment, useState } from 'react'; import { Box, Button, Checkbox, CompositeZIndex, Fieldset, FixedZIndex, Flex, Layer, OverlayPanel, RadioButton, Text, TextField, } from 'gestalt'; export default function Example() { const [showComponent, setShowComponent] = useState(true); const HEADER_ZINDEX = new FixedZIndex(10); const sheetZIndex = new CompositeZIndex([HEADER_ZINDEX]); const footer = ( <OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> {({ onDismissStart }) => ( <Flex alignItems="center" justifyContent="end"> <Button color="red" onClick={onDismissStart} text="Create" /> </Flex> )} </OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> ); return ( <Fragment> <Box padding={8}> <Button onClick={() => setShowComponent(true)} text="View OverlayPanel" /> </Box> {showComponent && ( <Layer zIndex={sheetZIndex}> <OverlayPanel accessibilityDismissButtonLabel="Close" accessibilityLabel="Example overlay panel for demonstration" closeOnOutsideClick={false} footer={footer} heading="Create new audience list" onDismiss={() => setShowComponent(false)} size="md" > <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 12, }} > <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 4, }} > <Box> <Text inline weight="bold"> Step 1: </Text> <Text inline> Audience list details</Text> </Box> <TextField id="name-your-audience" label="Audience name" onChange={() => {}} placeholder="Name your audience" /> <TextField id="describe-your-audience" label="Audience description" onChange={() => {}} placeholder="Describe your audience" /> <Fieldset legend="When adding this audience list to an ad group:"> <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 3, }} > <RadioButton id="include-list" label="Include list" name="audience" onChange={() => {}} value="include" /> <RadioButton id="exclude-list" label="Exclude list" name="audience" onChange={() => {}} value="include" /> </Flex> </Fieldset> </Flex> <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 4, }} > <Box> <Text inline weight="bold"> Step 2: </Text> <Text inline> Select conversion source</Text> </Box> <Text> To use a conversion source other than a Pinterest Tag, add a filter and configure the source of this event. </Text> <Fieldset legend="Select conversion source:" legendDisplay="hidden" > <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 3, }} > <RadioButton id="pinterest-tag" label="Pinterest Tag" name="source" onChange={() => {}} value="pin" /> <RadioButton id="mobile-measurement" label="Mobile Measurement Partners (MMP)" name="source" onChange={() => {}} value="mmp" /> <RadioButton id="conversion-upload" label="Conversion Upload" name="source" onChange={() => {}} value="conversion" /> <RadioButton id="api" label="API" name="source" onChange={() => {}} value="api" /> </Flex> </Fieldset> </Flex> <Flex direction="column" gap={{ row: 0, column: 4, }} > <Box> <Text inline weight="bold"> Step 3: </Text> <Text inline> Set a filter</Text> </Box> <TextField id="past-users" label="Users in the past few days" onChange={() => {}} placeholder="Ex. 4" /> <Checkbox id="traffic" label="Include past traffic data" name="traffic" onChange={() => {}} /> </Flex> </Flex> </OverlayPanel> </Layer> )} </Fragment> ); }
Animation
By default, OverlayPanel animates in, with the initial render process from the entry-point, and out, when the ESC key is pressed, the header close button is pressed, or the user clicks outside of the OverlayPanel. However, to trigger the exit-animation from other elements in other areas such as the children or footer, the following render prop can be used:
<OverlayPanel.DismissingElement>
({ onDismissStart }) => ( ... )
</OverlayPanel.DismissingElement>
When using this render prop, just pass the argument onDismissStart to your exit-point action elements. In the example below, we've added the exit animation to the:
- Close button (subHeading)
- Right arrow icon red button (children)
- Done red button (children)
- Left arrow red icon button (children)
- Close button (footer)
OverlayPanel also provides onAnimationEnd, a callback that gets triggered at the end of each animation. The callback has access to animationState to identify the end of each 'in' and 'out' animation for cases where the two events trigger different responses.
Don't use OverlayPanel's
onDismissStart render prop available in subheading, footer and children; they will be deprecated and removed soon. Instead, wrap the component dismissing your OverlayPanel with OverlayPanel.DismissingElement and access the onDismissStart render prop available there.import { Fragment, useState } from 'react'; import { Box, Button, CompositeZIndex, FixedZIndex, Flex, IconButton, Layer, OverlayPanel, } from 'gestalt'; export default function Example() { const [showComponent, setShowComponent] = useState(true); const HEADER_ZINDEX = new FixedZIndex(10); const sheetZIndex = new CompositeZIndex([HEADER_ZINDEX]); const renderSubheading = ( <OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> {({ onDismissStart }) => ( <Box marginBottom={4} marginEnd={8} marginStart={8}> <Button color="blue" onClick={onDismissStart} text="Close on Sub-heading" /> </Box> )} </OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> ); const renderFooter = ( <OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> {({ onDismissStart }) => ( <Flex justifyContent="end"> <Button onClick={onDismissStart} text="Close on Footer" /> </Flex> )} </OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> ); const renderContent = ( <OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> {({ onDismissStart }) => ( <Flex alignItems="center" height="100%" justifyContent="center"> <IconButton accessibilityLabel="Done icon left" icon="directional-arrow-right" iconColor="red" onClick={onDismissStart} size="lg" /> <Button color="red" onClick={onDismissStart} size="lg" text="Done on Children" /> <IconButton accessibilityLabel="Done icon right" icon="directional-arrow-left" iconColor="red" onClick={onDismissStart} size="lg" /> </Flex> )} </OverlayPanel.DismissingElement> ); return ( <Fragment> <Box padding={8}> <Button onClick={() => setShowComponent(true)} text="Open example overlay panel" /> </Box> {showComponent && ( <Layer zIndex={sheetZIndex}> <OverlayPanel accessibilityDismissButtonLabel="Close" accessibilityLabel="Animated overlay panel" footer={renderFooter} heading="Animated OverlayPanel" onDismiss={() => setShowComponent(false)} size="md" subHeading={renderSubheading} > {renderContent} </OverlayPanel> </Layer> )} </Fragment> ); }
Dismiss confirmation
There are two ways OverlayPanel can be dismissed: internally-controlled and externally-controlled dismiss actions.
The three internally-controlled or component-controlled dismiss actions are:
- when the
ESCkey is pressed - when the backdrop is clicked
- when the dismiss IconButton is clicked
The externally-controlled dismiss actions (subHeading, children, and footer) require implementing the callback onDismissStart. See the
animation variant to learn more.
OverlayPanels can contain forms or be part of flows where the user is required to submit infomation. If an OverlayPanel is dismissed involuntarily, the data entered by the user could not be saved and lost. This can create a bad user experience.
To prevent dismissing OverlayPanel involuntary, we can use dismissConfirmation. When provided, it will open a confirmation modal each time component-controlled dismiss actions are triggered.
