## Usage Guidelines

The Telerik and Kendo UI Window requires you to follow some basic principles when using the component.

### Title

When using the Window component in your user interface, it's important to consider the presentation of the window title, as it plays a crucial role in guiding the user and conveying the purpose of the content.

<Dont description="Avoid using the Window component without a title as this can cause confusion and impede users from determining its purpose.">![An incorrectly used Telerik and Kendo UI Window component that has no title](images/components-window-usage-title-dont.png "Do not use the Telerik and Kendo UI Window component without adding a suitable title")</Dont>
</DosDonts>


### Purpose

Windows are best suited for displaying more complex content, such as multi-panel interfaces or task-specific workflows, providing users with a comprehensive view of information. On the other hand, Dialogs are ideal for short and focused interactions, such as alerts, confirmations, or prompting users for quick input, offering a more concise and task-specific approach to engage users effectively.
