Our saving docs is already doing a great job at providing guidelines but on when to use cancel button and when not.

One relevant bit on saving is:
When data is not automatically saved after the user makes changes, buttons are used to submit or cancel the changes.

This might imply we should always include a cancel button but that isn't correct. For example on a login page this won't be useful.

Considerations:

  • Should a cancel button be used on intermediate form pages (not just modals)
  • Cancelling can be useful when by accident changing the form
  • Are there accessibility considerations here?
