I think we may want to have some suggestions as to when to/not to use destructive actions. It also may be useful to have explanatory information/reason noted on the dialog so the user understands the significance of the action. Sometimes, it’s obvious and not needed. I’m talking here about guidance on how to use the pattern, not the implementation of it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">tx</div><div class="">- serena</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 13, 2015, at 4:53 PM, Andreas Nilsson <<a href="mailto:anilsson@redhat.com" class="">anilsson@redhat.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class="">On 2015-05-13 21:31, Matt Carrano wrote:<br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class="">Hi Everyone,<br class=""><br class="">I just wanted to float a question out there about usage of the Destructive states for buttons. You can see here (<a href="https://site-patternfly.rhcloud.com/widgets/#buttons" class="">https://site-patternfly.rhcloud.com/widgets/#buttons</a>) that we support three states for buttons (Secondary (gray), Primary (blue), and Destructive (red)).
