UX Guidelines
Provide Easy Ways to Revert or Escape
Help users return to a previous state of the interface.
Interfaces are like roads.
Users might travel down a road, then realize it's the wrong direction.
Help them return to a previous road.
How to Apply
- Let Users Undo Multiple Levels of Action. Store a backlog of their actions.

- Skip Confirmations in Easily Reversible Decisions. Confirmations can become annoying. Provide undos when possible.
