# Alert

Highlight notes, tips, warnings, and other important information with the Alert component.

Use Alert for information that deserves extra attention without interrupting the main content.

## How to use Alert

Add Alert from **Components > Text**, then edit its paragraph or add other content inside it.

Choose **Variant** under **Properties & attributes** to set the alert to **Note**, **Tip**, **Important**, **Warning**, or **Caution**.

## Styling

Style the Alert instance for its container appearance. The selected variant produces the corresponding component state, so you can style **Note**, **Tip**, **Important**, **Warning**, and **Caution** independently in the states menu.

Alerts created from GitHub-style syntax in a Content Block `.mdx` file become Alert component instances. Changing the instance's **Variant** property updates the alert marker when Webstudio saves the MDX source.

Markdown Embed supports the same variants and rendered `data-state` values.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.webstudio.is/university/core-components/alert.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
