 To use the adaptive sidebar, import `AdaptiveSidebar` into your project. All content within the `AdaptiveSidebar` component is determined by the user; by
 default, the component will be empty, allowing for complete control of layout, etc.
 
+As the `AdaptiveSidebar` can be rendered as a modal, it is **strongly** recommended that the component is given an accessible name.
+This can be generated via the `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` attributes.
