+
+### Behaviors
+
+The dialog base manages several behaviors:
+
+1. Animation of the dialog content when opening/closing
+2. Focus management when the dialog opens
+3. Event handling for closing the dialog
+
+#### Receives focus
+
+The `receives-focus` attribute can be used to control whether the dialog should receive focus when it is opened. Leverage the `type="modal"` and `receives-focus="auto"` settings in the Overlay API to ensure that focus is thrown into the dialog content when opened and that the tab order will be trapped within it while open.
+
+```html

+                The click events for the "OK" button are bound to the story not
+                to the components in specific.
+            </p>
+        </sp-dialog>
+    </sp-dialog-base>
+    <sp-button slot="trigger" variant="primary">Toggle Dialog</sp-button>
+</overlay-trigger>
+```
+
+### Accessibility
+
+The dialog base component ensures proper focus management by:
+
+-   Moving focus into the dialog when opened
+-   Trapping tab order within the dialog while open
+-   Returning focus to the trigger element when closed
 
-`sp-dialog-base` expects a single slotted child element to play the role of the dialog that it will deliver within your application. When leveraging it as a base class be sure to customize the `dialog` getter to ensure that it acquires the appropriate element for your use case in order to correctly pass focus into your content when the dialog is opened.
+See the [Dialog](./dialog) component for more information on the accessibility features of the dialog content.

+#### Underlay
+
+The `underlay` attribute can be used to add an underlay element between the page content and the dialog.
+
+```html
+</style>
+<overlay-trigger type="modal">
+    <sp-dialog-base underlay slot="click-content">
+        <sp-dialog>
+            <h2 slot="heading">A thing is about to happen</h2>
+            <p>Something that might happen a lot is about to happen.</p>
+            <p>
+                The click events for the "OK" button are bound to the story not
+                to the components in specific.
+            </p>
+            <sp-button
+                variant="secondary"
+                treatment="fill"
+                slot="button"
+                onclick="this.dispatchEvent(new Event('close', { bubbles: true, composed: true }));"
+            >
+                Ok
+            </sp-button>
+            <sp-checkbox slot="footer">Don't show me this again</sp-checkbox>
+        </sp-dialog>

 ```
 
-## Example
+#### Dismissable
 
-### Small
+The `dismissable` attribute can be used to add an underlay element between the page content and the dialog.
 
 ```html
+</style>
 <overlay-trigger type="modal">
-    <sp-dialog-wrapper
-        slot="click-content"
-        headline="Dialog title"
-        dismissable
-        dismiss-label="Close"
-        underlay
-        footer="Content for footer"
-    >
-        Content of the dialog
-    </sp-dialog-wrapper>
+    <sp-dialog-base underlay slot="click-content">
+        <sp-dialog dismissable>
+            <h2 slot="heading">A thing is about to happen</h2>
+            <p>Something that might happen a lot is about to happen.</p>

     <sp-button slot="trigger" variant="primary">Toggle Dialog</sp-button>

+```
+
+### Behaviors
+
+The dialog base manages several behaviors:
+
+1. Animation of the dialog content when opening/closing
+2. Focus management when the dialog opens
+3. Event handling for closing the dialog
+
+#### Receives focus
+
+The `receives-focus` attribute can be used to control whether the dialog should receive focus when it is opened. Leverage the `type="modal"` and `receives-focus="auto"` settings in the Overlay API to ensure that focus is thrown into the dialog content when opened and that the tab order will be trapped within it while open.
+
+```html
+<overlay-trigger type="modal" receives-focus="auto">
+    <sp-dialog-base underlay mode="fullscreenTakeover" slot="click-content">
+        <sp-dialog dismissable>
+            <h2 slot="heading">A thing is about to happen</h2>
+            <p>Something that might happen a lot is about to happen.</p>
+            <p>
+                The click events for the "OK" button are bound to the story not
+                to the components in specific.
+            </p>
+        </sp-dialog>
+    </sp-dialog-base>
+    <sp-button slot="trigger" variant="primary">Toggle Dialog</sp-button>
 </overlay-trigger>
 ```
 
-## Accessibility
+### Accessibility
+
+The dialog base component ensures proper focus management by:
+
+-   Moving focus into the dialog when opened
+-   Trapping tab order within the dialog while open
+-   Returning focus to the trigger element when closed
 
-An `sp-dialog-wrapper` element leverages the `headline` attribute/property to label the dialog content for screen readers. The `headline-visibility` attribute will accept a value of `"none"` to suppress the headline visually.
+See the [Dialog](./dialog) component for more information on the accessibility features of the dialog content.
