Caution callout boxes

Use a caution callout box to provide critical information that a user can't reverse if they continue with the task.

Use caution callout boxes in the following situations:

• To warn a user of data loss
• To warn a user that an action can corrupt their data
• To let a user know that there's a consequence they can't reverse
• To tell a user to back up their data before they continue
