Transitions

Transitions occur when users move between screens starting a new flow or navigating within a journey. They help users navigate through the app creating a sense of continuation. These transitions should always be unobtrusive and natural.

When to use 
and types

Currently, we support two main kinds of page transitions

  • Upwards

  • Sideways

And two supplementary modals transitions

  • Modals

  • Bottom sheets

Upwards

This pattern indicates the start of a new flow/action in the app, such as send or receive money. Its purpose is to communicate that a new user journey or action starts from that point. It must always contain a dismissal button on its top left corner.

Sideways

This pattern indicates the continuation of a flow whenever an action has already been started. It allows the user to navigate forward and backward between pages at consecutive levels within the same hierarchy.

modals

A Modal is a container to display supporting content such as selectors or a short supplementary task on mobile experiences and it should always have a dismiss button on the top left corner For more information on this topic, check the Modals page on Components section.

bottom sheets

A bottom sheet is a container you can use to display supporting content or a short, supplementary task on mobile and web experiences, also known as Modals or Pop-ups. For more information on this topic, check the Bottom Sheets page on Components section.
