3. User Control and Freedom
-Users should be free to select
and sequence tasks (when
appropriate), rather than having
the system do this for them.

functions by mistake and will
need a clearly marked
“emergency exit” to leave the
unwanted state without having
to go through an extended
dialogue. Users should make
their own decisions (with clear
information) regarding the costs
of exiting
current work. The system should
support undo and redo.

whether different words,
situations, or actions mean the

conventions.
