Should I use modal or new page?
Modals are a good fit if your users often switch between products and the interactions are limited. New page is a good fit if the interactions are various and somewhat complex, but you do not ease switching to other projects.
When not to use modals?
5. Do not use modal dialogs for nonessential information that is not related to the current user flow. As discussed above, modal dialogs have numerous disadvantages and costs to users. In order for these costs to be justified, their relevance to the task and importance should be high.
Are modals bad for accessibility?
Modals should be used sparingly. Much like alerts, they disrupt the flow of what a user is doing if they cannot control the opening of a modal. If the user can control the opening and closing of the modal with buttons, that is a much better alternative.
What is the difference between modal and popup?
Modals, like pop-ups, are components that pop up on a user's screen. The key difference, however, is that the user would have initiated the action as part of their journey. Modals are used for specific workflows such as adding users, deleting content, sharing content, adding content, and more.
