+We are removing the existing popover animations shimming and instead wil now only support native popover animations. This is considered a breaking change but will be more reliable overall.

 ## Animations
 
-Animating things to display none has historically been a significant challenge on the web. This is because display none is a `discrete` property, and is **unanimatable**.
-
-> There is currently efforts to solve this problem. [New CSS properties](https://developer.chrome.com/blog/entry-exit-animations/) have been introduced, but currently do not provide good enough browser support.
+Modals require smooth entry and exit animations to enhance user experience. However, animating properties like display and overlay can be challenging because they are discrete properties and not traditionally animatable.
 
-### Our current approach
+Modern browsers have introduced discrete animation capabilities, allowing us to animate these properties effectively. Below, we'll explore how to implement animations and transitions for modals using keyframe animations and CSS transitions.
 
-Qwik UI automatically detects any `animation` or `transition` declarations under the hood and waits for them to finish before closing the modal. If there is no animation, then it will close normally.
+### Keyframe Animation Example
 
-### Adding a transition
+Keyframes are ideal for handling the entry and exit of the modal. Here's an example using modalOpen for opening and modalClose for closing the modal:
 
-<Showcase name="transition" />
+<Showcase name="animatable" />
 
-To add an transition, use the `data-open`, `data-closing` and `data-closed` data attributes. Above is a snippet where we transition both the modal and backdrop's opacity.
+### Transition Declarations
 
-### Adding an animation
+Transitions are useful for animating properties like opacity and transform. Here's how to implement transitions for the modal:
 
-<Showcase name="animatable" />
+<Showcase name="transition" />
 
-To add an animation, it's the same as with transitions, using the `data-open` and `data-closing` data attributes. Below is a snippet of the animation example above.
+<TopLayerAnimationsCaveats />
 
 ### Backdrop animations
 
-Backdrop animations have also made significant progress in the last year, with support provided in over half of the major browsers, and close to 70% of users.
-
-To add a backdrop animation, make sure to use the `::backdrop` pseudo selector to the end of the `data-closing` or `data-open` classes.
+To animate the modal's backdrop, use the `::backdrop` pseudo-element and include it in your keyframes or transitions:
 
-> Firefox currently does not support backdrop animations. The fallback for browsers that do not support animated backdrops is the same as a non-animated backdrop.
