Primary action parked at the right
- Forbidden
- A right-aligned "Next" with "Back" beside it at the bottom of a multi-step form
- Instead
- Start-align the primary, ordered most to least important. Right-aligned actions get missed on wide screens and by screen-magnifier users, and sit further from the fields they submit.
What this rule looks like
Why this rule
On multi-step forms put "Back" as a tertiary button at the top left — away from the primary, where it cannot be hit by mistake and lose everything just entered.
