 /**
- * The alert below is an example of an Alert implementation using event hooks.
+ * This is an example of an Alert implementation using optional event hooks.
  *
- * Alerts can be customized to be accepted, dismissed snoozed or any combination
- * by defining a corresponding hook on the alert instance.
+ * Event hooks can be used to enable users to dismiss, snooze, or accept an action item
+ * - or any combination thereof. Defining a hook will generate default UI - button, dialog and
+ * form. Cost Insights does not preserve client side alert state - each hook is expected to return a new set of alerts.
  *
- * For example, defining an onDismissed hook will render a dismiss button that, when clicked, will
- * generate a dialog prompting the user to provide a reason for dismissing the alert.
- * Dismiss form data will be passed to the hook, which must eventually return a new set of alerts.
- * Errors thrown within hooks will generate a snackbar, which can be used to display a
- * user-friendly error message.
+ * Snoozed, accepted, etc. alerts should define a corresponding status property. Alerts will be aggregated
+ * by status in a collapsed view below Alert Insights section and a badge will appear in Action Items
+ * showing the total alerts of that status.
  *
- * Cost Insights provides default forms for each hook, which can be overriden by providing a custom form component.
+ * Default forms can be overriden by providing a valid React form component. Form components
+ * must return valid form elements, and accept a ref and onSubmit event handler. See /forms
+ * for example implementations. Custom forms must implement a corresponding event hook.
