How do I make similar button choices less confusing?
An easy way to clear up their confusion is to use icon-dominant buttons. This approach allows users to differentiate the actions visually when the labels have a similar meaning. But for this approach to work, it's crucial to choose icons that accurately represent an action's distinct difference.
Why are toggle buttons confusing?
The challenge with toggle buttons is making the current state obvious. Users often have trouble identifying the active state when the visual cue isn't clear. This confusion causes them to select the wrong option and activate an unintended state.
What are destructive buttons?
A destructive button signals by its appearance that the user should carefully consider whether to tap or click the button.
How do you make a button more obvious?
Ensure the design puts emphasis on the primary or most prominent action. Use color and contrast to keep user focus on the action, and place the button in prominent locations where users are most likely to notice it.
