post_title: Product Editor Guidelines - Dialogue Extensions (future feature)
menu_title: Dialogue Extensions
---
Dialog extensions differ from other extensions as they are unrelated to any section or functionality within the product form. They can connect to third-party systems or come with complex interfaces that require a separate, focused experience.
Dialogs can have different sizes (small, medium, large, or custom) and trigger locations (text or icon button anywhere in the form or in the form's top bar).
