用户控制与自由

本词条尚无可操作示例；插画为编辑示意。应用到产品时仍须验证每个模态与多步流程是否都有带标签的出口、撤销是否真正恢复数据，以及取消半完成流程时是否会静默丢失内容。

  "definition": "用户经常误操作，因此需要一个标记清晰的“紧急出口”，无需经历冗长流程就能离开不想要的状态；支持撤销与重做。能轻松脱困会让人敢于探索，从而促进学习与功能发现。",
  "boundary": "用户控制与自由关注用户能否随时退出或撤回，属于 Nielsen 第三条启发式；它与平静技术相关（尊重用户注意力），但后者讨论的是信息呈现的强度，而非退出通道。撤销/重做是它的一种实现，本词典尚未单独立条；阻碍退出或完成是它的直接违反。它不等于错误预防：前者处理已经发生的误操作，后者处理发生之前。",

    "任何多步或模态流程都有可见且带文字标签的取消、关闭或返回",
    "破坏性或修改性操作可以撤销、重做，或至少在提交前确认",

    "用户在编辑、配置或多步流程中容易误入不想要的状态",

  "when_not": [
    "把“可撤销”当作免除确认的理由，用在撤销窗口极短或根本无法恢复的操作上",

    "只依赖隐藏的键盘快捷键或未标注的图标作为出口"
  ],
  "tradeoff": "清晰的出口与撤销能降低误操作代价、鼓励探索，但撤销需要持久化历史状态，取消需要处理半完成的数据，这会增加实现复杂度；出口过多或过于显眼也可能分散对主任务的注意力。",
