# Alert dialog: Nested

> A dialog opened from inside another stacks on top. The parent scales back while the child is open and comes forward again when it closes.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/alert-dialog/examples/nested
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/alert-dialog.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/alert-dialog-nested.json
```

This adds `components/examples/alert-dialog/nested.tsx` with the Alert dialog component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
