# How does Whatfix display multiple Pop-ups?

[Create a Pop-up](/docs/creating-pop-ups) using either Whatfix Studio or Dashboard. Once you've created the Pop-up, Whatfix enables you to choose the order of display of the Pop-up on the application based on recent modifications.

This is the default method for displaying Pop-ups based on the order in which you update them. For example, when there is more than one Pop-up active with similar Visibility Rules on an application, Whatfix displays the Pop-up that you modified recently. If you created Pop-up 1 and Pop-up 2 with similar Visibility Rules. But you made changes to Pop-up 2 and then you published both. Whatfix displays Pop-up 2 first and then displays Pop-up 1 in such cases.

Note:

- For more information on visibility rules, see [New Visibility Rules for Widgets](/studio/docs/advanced-visibility-rules-for-widgets) and [New Visibility Rules Use Cases](/studio/docs/advanced-visibility-rules-use-cases).
- To know about Advanced Customization, see [Understand Advanced Customization](/studio/docs/advanced-configuration).

### Use the following steps to set precedence for displaying multiple Pop-ups on Dashboard:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click **Widgets**. ![ia_left_nav_widgets](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_left_nav_widgets.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T06%3A03%3A35Z&se=2026-10-17T07%3A03%3A35Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=1F7RSluxVhKuWpoAK7egshmaE1gs4tneIK5kQerC7Bk%3D)
2. Click **Pop-ups**. ![ia_widget_popups](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/ia_widget_popups.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T06%3A03%3A35Z&se=2026-10-17T07%3A03%3A35Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=1F7RSluxVhKuWpoAK7egshmaE1gs4tneIK5kQerC7Bk%3D)

1. Go to the Pop-up which you want to display first, and then click the **Edit** icon. ![Dashboard_pop-up_display_edit](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Dashboard_pop-up_display_edit.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-17T06%3A03%3A35Z&se=2026-10-17T07%3A03%3A35Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=1F7RSluxVhKuWpoAK7egshmaE1gs4tneIK5kQerC7Bk%3D)
2. Make any modifications or updates to the Pop-up, and then save the Pop-up.

Note:

- When you save a Pop-up without making any changes to the existing content, it is counted as a modification and the saved Pop-up takes precedence over other Pop-ups.
- When Pop-ups are scheduled to appear during different time intervals, Whatfix displays the Pop-ups at the scheduled time without any conflict.
- You also have the option to set Pop-up precedence using Advanced customization. It enables you to add segment ID of Pop-ups to set their precedence. In this method, you add a code snippet in Advanced customization, and then you add the segment ID of the Pop-ups in the order in which you want the Pop-ups to be displayed. This method of setting precedence for Pop-ups works regardless of the Visibility Rules that you add. For more information, see [Set the precedence of Pop-ups using segment ID](/studio/docs/pop-up-precedence).
