-  Critical banners can't be dismissable. They are mostly used for errors which need to be resolved. As a result you can only get rid of a critical banner by resolving the error. If used to warn about   destructive actions, the banner should also not be dismissable.
+  Critical banners communicate an error which the user must resolve in order for the banner to disappear. In certain cases, the banner may be dismissible when notifying the user of a failed action. If used to warn about destructive actions, the banner should also not be dismissible.
 
   If the error must be resolved on a different page, use an action that directs the user to the page where the error can be resolved.
