Is there a way to close a modal from outside the modal view? Say I create a modal like this that displays a save in progress modal, but there is an error in the save. Can I remove close the modal from the view that created it?

var modalview = new SaveInProgressModalView();
layoutComponent.showContent(modalview, {showInModal: true});

Within the modal view you could setup a listener for a custom event like .on('closeSaveModal' that destroys the view, and then from your other view trigger that named event like .trigger('closeSaveModal'

That's what I ended up doing.
