User control and freedom

People make mistakes and change their minds. They need a clear way to back out. In the example, archiving a message shows a confirmation with an Undo button.

One tap restores the message. Because the action is easy to reverse, people can act quickly without worrying about getting it wrong.

Offer undo, cancel and back wherever you can, and label them clearly. Undo can also replace an "Are you sure?" dialog for actions that are easy to reverse.
