Popover

A popover is in-app messaging that provides more information on specific product areas. Popovers display content in a new window that overlays the current page. Unlike modals, popovers don't block the current page.

Documentation

Overview

A popover is used to provide contextual information for another component on click. The popover itself is made up of two main elements: arrow and content. The content element follows the pattern of the popover box component, with a close icon in the top right corner, as well as a header and body. One of the directional modifiers (.pf-m-left, .pf-m-top, etc.) is required on the popover component
