# Modal

Use the `Modal` step to display content (text, images, GIFs, videos) in a separate pop-up window, temporarily overlaying the main application interface.

**Key Characteristics:**

* **Purpose:** Present larger pieces of information, media, or interactive elements without navigating away.
* **Appearance:** Opens as a distinct pop-up window, often dimming the background.
* **Flexibility:** Can contain rich content including text, media, and actionable buttons (similar to the `Ask` step).
* **Common Use Cases:**
  * Displaying introductory messages or summaries.
  * Showing larger images or longer videos.
  * Presenting questions or choices with actions.
  * Focusing user attention on critical information.

*Example Use Case: For a first-time user with no sample data, use a Modal to show a video tour of a fully populated dashboard.*
