# UI Dialog Service
Dialogs have similar characteristics to that of Modals, but often with a
streamlined focus. They can be helpful when:
- We need to grab the user's attention
- We need user input
- We need to show additional information
If you're curious about the DOs and DON'Ts of dialogs and modals, check out this
article: ["Best Practices for Modals / Overlays / Dialog Windows"][ux-article]
