 <ExamplesExample file="v-alert/prop-closable" />
 
+#### Duration
+
+The **duration** prop causes the alert to automatically dismiss itself after the specified number of milliseconds. Set to `-1` (the default) to disable auto-dismiss. Combine with **closable** to give users both auto-dismiss and manual control.

+<ExamplesExample file="v-alert/prop-duration" />

 The close icon automatically applies a default `aria-label` and is configurable by using the **close-label** prop or changing **close** value in your locale.
