The Open Confirm action is a page overlay that displays critical information, blocks interaction with the page, and only closes after an action is performed. The Open Confirm action should interrupt a user flow until a specific action is taken. It is used to convey important messages that can't be ignored. Potential use cases for Confirm action are:
Confirming a permanent change, like deleting data
Relaying a vital system message like a maintenance downtime window
Though it's visually similar to an Alert Modal, a Confirm action requires the user to acknowledge the information in the dialog.
Users cannot interact with content outside an active Confirm window until the user explicitly closes it.
Please find a list of the open confirm action attributes that are available.

In this example, we demonstrate how to use the "On Confirm interaction" to prompt end-users for confirmation before deleting a record.
Some practical use cases for the Open Confirm interaction with next actions after clicking "OK" include:
Deleting a record: Display a confirmation message, ensuring users know the consequences before proceeding with the deletion. Upon clicking "OK," the record is removed, and a follow-up interaction or notification confirms the action's success. View the tutorial example.
Submitting a form: When users submit a form, an Open Confirm action can be triggered, providing them with a final review opportunity. After clicking "OK," the form is submitted, and a success message or redirect can be initiated.
Confirming a high-priority action: For actions with significant impact, such as changing user permissions or approving a substantial financial transaction, the Open Confirm interaction ensures users are fully aware of the implications. Clicking "OK" executes the action and can be followed by an audit log entry or a confirmation email to relevant stakeholders.
