What it solves

A Empty States pattern helps teams create a reliable way to turn a blank or zero-result view into a helpful next-step moment instead of a dead end. It is most useful when teams need first-use dashboards and inboxes. Compared with adjacent patterns, this pattern should reduce friction without hiding the state, rules, or recovery paths people need to keep moving.

When to use

• First-use dashboards and inboxes
• Search or filter results with zero matches
• Completed queues or cleared lists
