===Modal sheets in Mac OS X=== {{redirect-distinguish|Sheet (computing)|spreadsheet}} Many features that would typically be represented by modal windows are implemented as modal [[Transient screen|transient]] panels called "Sheets"<ref>{{cite web |title=Sheets - Presentation - Components - Human Interface Guidelines - Design - Apple Developer |url=https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/components/presentation/sheets/ |website=Apple Developer |access-date=7 September 2022}}</ref> on Mac OS X. Transient windows behave similarly to modal windows{{spaced ndash}}they are always on top of the parent window and are not shown in the window list, but they do not disable the use of other windows in the application. Sheets slide out of the window's title bar, and usually must be dismissed before the user can continue to work in the window, but the rest of the application stays usable. Thus they create a mode inside the window that contains them, but are modeless with respect to the rest of the application.
