How do you document interaction patterns in a design system?

Interaction patterns include things like modals, dropdowns, and hover effects.

Document these by describing what triggers the interaction, expected behaviors, edge cases, and usage guidelines. Include animated examples or prototype links, and explain when not to use a pattern to avoid misuse. A pattern library helps enforce consistency and improves developer collaboration.
