Behavior

About modals are clicked into through a users interaction with a button, link, or icon component. When the modal is launched, the user can only see content inside it, until clicking the close button.

Accessing the about modal

Provide access to an about modal using a help icon in the application masthead. Clicking the help icon will launch a dropdown menu. The help menu should always include an option labeled "About" that launches the about modal.
