2. Previous & Next Actions
“When a form has multiple pages, there is the need
for Next and Back buttons. Most web form guidelines
say that the primary action button should be on the
left, but in this case, it would seem to make more
sense to have the primary button (Continue or Next)
on the right, with the secondary button (Back or
Previous) on the left. Do you have any thoughts on
this topic?”

3. Actions
• Not all form actions are equal
• Reset, Cancel, & Go Back are secondary actions: rarely
need to be used (if at all)
• Save, Continue, & Submit are primary actions: directly
responsible for form completion
