Popover
A small panel that comes out of its trigger: the menu's frosted plate rising one nest from the trigger's side on the surface spring, fading out on release without travelling back.
Use it for
- A small task beside the thing it acts on: rename, pick a colour, share a link, confirm a detail. It holds real content: a title, a line, a few controls.
Don't use it for
- A list of commands (use a menu), a hint on hover (use a tooltip), a choice from options (use a select), or anything that must stop the page until answered (use a dialog).
