Callout

A highlighted message component for important information, warnings, or tips.

This component's API and documentation are under review and may change. Use with caution in production.

Callout draws attention to important information with a visually distinct container. Use it for tips, warnings, errors, and other messages that need to stand out from regular content.

This is an enhanced version of the Callout from Radix Themes.

Without Icon

The icon is optional. Use text-only callouts for simpler messages.

<Callout.Root color="gray">
  <Callout.Text>
    A simple callout without an icon.
  </Callout.Text>
</Callout.Root>

Accessibility

Callouts use ARIA live regions by default (aria-live="polite"). For urgent messages, use live="assertive". For decorative callouts, use live="off".

// Urgent error message
<Callout.Root color="red" live="assertive" role="alert">
  <Callout.Icon>
    <HugeiconsIcon icon={Cancel01Icon} strokeWidth={1.75} />
  </Callout.Icon>
  <Callout.Text>Session expired. Please log in again.</Callout.Text>
</Callout.Root>
