# Empty: Entrance

> When an empty state replaces content, its parts fade up one after another: media, title, description, then actions. Dismiss the notifications to see it. Under reduced motion it just appears. Set `animated={false}` for empty states that are there from the first paint.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/empty/examples/transition
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/empty.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/empty-transition.json
```

This adds `components/examples/empty/transition.tsx` with the Empty component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
