Success messages

Success messages appear after a user completes a significant action in the product UI. Success messages typically appear and disappear briefly, or they might function as a message that the user can dismiss.

When writing a success message, keep the message brief and don't write in complete sentences. Use the following guidelines:

• Use short phrases without terminal punctuation.
• Write affirmatively.
• Use passive voice.
