08 Titan’s Takeaway

When you want to take quick action, use Native Modals, which are fast at controlling variables between web pages. Native Modals can see all variables, whereas Custom Modals cannot since they exist on a different web page. Whenever you need more control of the layout or need to perform more complex actions, choose our Custom Modal options.
