Show lightweight contextual controls.

Overview

Show lightweight contextual controls. It raises contextual work above the current page and returns focus to the invoking control.

When to use

Use HE/Popover when you need to show lightweight contextual controls. Keep its role distinct from transport freshness, animal-health severity and model confidence.

Example

Atlantic · interactive specimen

Anatomy stays identical in Pasture and Atlantic. A responsive layout may wrap or stack parts, but reading order and focus order remain equivalent.

Accessibility

Move focus only for interactive content and close on Escape and outside interaction.

  • Maintain a visible keyboard focus indicator and a logical focus sequence.
  • Never rely on colour alone for operational, freshness or severity state.
  • Keep touch targets at least 44 × 44 px unless the target is an inline text link.
