I recently realized that the popup is now legacy and we have a new popup element.

This new popup comes with a specific trigger, inside the element. So some questions arise.

1. I realized that if you put a button inside the trigger it is possible to trigger it, but this limits where we can open the modal

2. I couldn’t find an action or a way to trigger hide and show with an external button or multiple buttons  
How can this configuration be done?

Hey @notis  
The modal component comes with Component workflows: `Toggle`, `Open` and `Close`  
They can be executed by any element in your page using the `Execute component action` 🙂
