Prevention Errors for Critical Actions

For actions that involve legal commitments, financial transactions, or data changes, implement at least one of the following measures:

• Reversible: Allow users to undo or reverse their actions.

• Checked: Validate user input for errors and provide options to correct them.

• Confirmed: Provide a mechanism to review, confirm, and correct information before finalizing the submission.

‍

• Reversible: After submitting a financial transaction, provide an option to cancel or reverse the transaction within a specified period.

• Checked: On a form for updating personal information, display validation errors and allow users to correct mistakes before submission.

• Confirmed: Show a confirmation page summarizing all details (e.g., order items, shipping address, payment method) before the final submission of an order.

• No specific exceptions are listed unless related to security or legal constraints that prevent providing the usual reversal or confirmation mechanisms.

• Always provide clear and concise information about what actions are reversible and how to undo them.

• Use visual cues, such as highlighted errors or prompts, to guide users in correcting mistakes.

• Ensure confirmation dialogs are clear and include all relevant details for review.

• Verify that all critical actions, such as financial transactions or data deletions, have mechanisms for undoing or reversing.

• Test forms and data input fields to ensure validation errors are correctly identified and can be corrected by the user.

• Ensure confirmation pages or dialogs are accurately displaying all relevant information before the final action is completed.
