The question

Changing an organization type's default plan shows what the change will do before it is committed, rendered as a warning alert. It passes review, because the consequences are real and stated, and it reads heavier than it is: the same idiom is used for things that have gone wrong. Removing a tier needs the same kind of preview. What does "here is what will happen" look like, as its own thing?

What depends on the answer

Every surface that previews a consequence before committing: the default-plan change, tier removal, and the dry run a rule change already shows.

Options known so far

  • A part of its own for previews, distinct from the alert used for problems, shared by all three surfaces.
  • Keep the alert and reserve its heavier styling for consequences that destroy something.

Decided when

The design system names the preview part, says when it is used instead of a warning, and the three surfaces render the same one.
