Definition

An Empty State occurs when no content or data is available to display in a given context, such as when a user first registers for an app or clears a shopping cart. Well-designed empty states offer guidance, tips, or call-to-action messages to engage the user and encourage them to add content or complete tasks. An effective empty state keeps the user engaged and prevents confusion.
