Confirmation Pattern deleting a comment in Google Suite
Context
I would like information about the current pattern to delete a comment from an app of the Google Suite.
Where and How to find it
Remove a comment made in Google Docs, Google Sheets, etc.
Questions
What's the name for this mini-modal window that Google is using for removing comments?
What're the benefits of using this instead of a modal window? and when we should use one over the other??
Concerns
My guess is that they are looking for a way to have the confirmation UI closer to the action button (Fitts's Law). But, certainly, I don't know.
