What is primary and secondary buttons?
Primary buttons, which typically have a container with a solid fill, are designed to draw the user's attention. Generally, the user has access to one primary button at a time. Secondary actions offer an alternative to the primary action, so they are given less visual emphasis.
Should next button be on left or right?
This also means that when elements are presented in a row, the most important items (e.g. the Next button) should be presented on the left. Left aligning the primary action will ensure that it comes first whether buttons are inline or stacked.
Where should back button be placed?
Place a persistent Back to Top button in the lower right side of the page. This is where people expect to see it. This position is out of the way, but noticeable. When the button is placed in a different place on the screen, it is often ignored.
