Callout Boxes
How to add highlighted note, warning, and tip boxes to Help Center articles.
Callout boxes draw the reader's attention to important information. Use them sparingly — if everything is highlighted, nothing stands out.
There are three types: Note, Warning, and Tip.
Note / Info
Use a Note box for important information the reader should be aware of, but that is not urgent or dangerous.
<div
style={{
background: "#E8F1FB",
border: "1px solid #1F5FA8",
borderRadius: "8px",
padding: "16px",
marginBottom: "16px",
}}
>
<strong style={{ color: "#1F5FA8" }}>Note:</strong> Your message here.
</div>
Example result:
Note: This setting only applies to admin users. Staff accounts will not see this option.
Warning
Use a Warning box when the reader needs to be careful — for example, an action that cannot be undone, or a common mistake to avoid.
<div
style={{
background: "#FEF9C3",
border: "1px solid #CA8A04",
borderRadius: "8px",
padding: "16px",
marginBottom: "16px",
}}
>
<strong style={{ color: "#92400E" }}>Warning:</strong> Your warning message here.
</div>
Example result:
Warning: Deleting a product removes all associated stock history. This cannot be undone.
Tip
Use a Tip box for helpful shortcuts, best practices, or things that make life easier — but are not required.
<div
style={{
background: "#DCFCE7",
border: "1px solid #16A34A",
borderRadius: "8px",
padding: "16px",
marginBottom: "16px",
}}
>
<strong style={{ color: "#15803D" }}>Tip:</strong> Your helpful tip here.
</div>
Example result:
Tip: You can use the keyboard shortcut Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to open the search bar from anywhere in the Help Center.
When to Use Each
| Box type | Use when... |
|---|---|
| Note | Something the reader needs to know, but it is not critical |
| Warning | The reader could make a mistake or lose data |
| Tip | A helpful extra that improves the experience |
