A mobile touch surface for filters, actions, forms, and detail views that should rise from the bottom of the viewport. For a multi-step flow, give each step its own sheet and one state value that names the open step (see Replacing a sheet); open a second sheet over the first when a step should stay visible beneath it. Stacking. Every sheet keeps its own isOpen. Open a sheet while another scrim sheet is open and it stacks on top: the sheet beneath stays mounted with its scroll position and inputs, recedes behind the new one (the nearest covered sheet shrinks to 0.96 and lifts 8px, deeper ones to 0.92 and 16px), and is blocked from pointer, keyboard, and assistive technology by the top sheet's modal dialog. The sheets can be siblings, live in separate components, sit inside another sheet's content, or sit inside a BottomSheetSwitcher step; a whole switcher is one level, and switching its step in place does not change its position. Nothing moves in the DOM: each sheet's dialog stays where it is written, and no wrapper component is needed. Order is open order. The top sheet is the one presented most recently that is still open; a sheet that closes and reopens comes back on top. When several sheets open in one update (a deep link into a flow), there is no open order between them, so tree order decides: a sheet below the sheets rendered in its content, siblings in the order they are written. That order is right in the first painted frame. One scrim. Only the bottom sheet's backdrop dims the page; the backdrops of the sheets above it are transparent, so a stack never darkens per level. The dim holds steady while sheets push and pop, and if the bottom sheet closes while sheets remain above it, the next sheet's backdrop takes over in the same frame. Dismissal. Escape, a tap on the scrim, a downward swipe, and a platform close request (Android back, a close watcher) reach only the top sheet, through that sheet's own onOpenChange, and that sheet's purpose applies: required blocks all of them, form blocks the scrim and the swipe. Nothing closes a whole stack at once; set every sheet closed in one update when a flow is done and they leave together. Closing a covered sheet from code. Sheets rendered inside the closing sheet's content are part of it: they are presented only while it is open and leave with it. Their isOpen stays yours, as with a Dialog rendered in a closed Dialog: nothing is written to it, and a nested sheet that is still open when its host reopens is presented again, on top. Set it closed yourself when the flow is done. Sheets above the closing sheet that are not in its content stay open and keep their order; the closing sheet slides out from beneath them, and if it owned the scrim, the sheet above takes it over. Replacing a sheet. Close the top sheet and open another in the same update (one state value that names the open step does this) and the new sheet replaces it instead of stacking on it: the new sheet rises above the one it replaces; if the replaced sheet is taller it moves down to meet the new sheet's top edge at the same time; the replaced sheet fades only after both motions finish, and is inert and hidden from assistive technology from the start. The scrim holds steady throughout, with no dip; focus moves into the new sheet; and when the flow closes, focus returns to the element that opened its first sheet, whichever sheet closed last. This is the handoff the deprecated BottomSheetSwitcher ran between its steps; a multi-step flow needs no switcher: give each step its own BottomSheet and one state value. A replace happens only when exactly one sheet closes and one opens in the update, the closing sheet was the top sheet of its stack, and the move was made from inside it (the control last pressed, or with no recent press the focused element, was in the closing sheet, as a step's own Continue or Back button is); a covered sheet closing while a sheet opens, a close and an open in different updates, or a close and an open driven from a control outside the closing sheet (two unrelated owners acting at once) keep the ordinary push and pop motion and their own focus return. A replace over an open stack runs one level up and leaves the sheets beneath covered. Non-modal sheets (hasScrim={false}) replace each other the same way, with no scrim: they are hosted in the browser top layer as manual popovers, so the entering step orders above the retained one with no page-level z-index, and toasts raised before or while the sheet is open stay above it. Below the Popover API support floor (Tier 2 in the browser support guide) the sheet falls back to show() in page stacking order: usable, but with no promise over later page content. A non-modal sheet returns focus to its opener on close only while focus is still inside it; focus taken elsewhere on the live page stays there. Focus. Opening a sheet, modal or not, focuses its data-autofocus field (a TextInput with hasAutoFocus) in every browser. Without one, focus goes wherever the engine's native dialog focusing steps land: the panel in Chromium, the first focusable control in Firefox. A step entering as a replacement also focuses a data-autofocus descendant first, so a flow that opens on a field keeps the keyboard on it. Closing the top sheet returns focus into the sheet it reveals: to the control that opened it when that control is still there, otherwise to the revealed sheet's panel. When the last sheet closes, the standalone rules apply: finalFocusRef, else the element that opened the sheet, with a focus ring only after keyboard input. When every sheet of a stack closes in one update, focus returns once, to the bottom sheet's finalFocusRef or opener, after the last dialog has closed. Caveats. A Dialog, AlertDialog, or Popover opened from a sheet paints above the sheet and does not make it recede; a sheet opened from inside that Dialog paints above the Dialog and stacks over the sheet beneath. Sheets with hasScrim={false} stay out of the stack entirely (they replace each other, but never stack, recede, or take the scrim). A sheet React hides (a suspended Suspense boundary, Activity mode="hidden") leaves the stack and closes its dialog; when it is shown again it is presented again, on top. Only sheets rendered in the same document stack; a sheet inside an iframe is its own stack.
