Should cancel be a button or link?
To summarize
The cancel option is similar to aborting an action, and therefore similar to navigating back to the previous state of the UI. Navigation is represented in web UI as hyperlinks, and thus the cancel option should be a hyperlink.
What should cancel button do?
What does the Cancel button do exactly? It dismisses the user's current screen and brings them back to their previous one. This dismissive button is a safeguard to prevent unwanted changes to the system.
What is the difference between close and cancel?
What is the difference between Canceling and Closing a Sales Order? On a sales order you have the option to either "cancel" or "close" the order. A sales order can be "cancelled" if it has no completed invoices against it. If the order does have completed invoices against it, the order can be "closed."
