Where do I put the help icon?
A help button, link, or icon relating to the whole form or screen function should be located on the top right corner of the screen but below the global header (see Figure 3). Help relating to the entire application or website, such as phone help, support numbers, or global tips, should be placed in the global header.
Where do you put the back button?
Right: back button above the form (good). Some forms or questionnaires appear across multiple pages and some people want to go back to check or change their answers.
How icons are useful in running an application?
Your icons' primary task is to guide your users to where they need to go, so make sure that they are able to achieve this goal: Use the 5-second rule : if it takes you more than 5 seconds to think of an appropriate icon for something, it is unlikely that an icon can effectively communicate that meaning.
