Multistep: Next, not Continue

multistep-next-not-continue

Multistep: Next not Continue; Previous not Back. Dual-cite with GOV.UK question-page Continue / Back — by surface, not a winner.

Description

Fluent multistep settings and wizards use Next, not Continue, and Previous, not Back. GOV.UK question pages still use Continue and Back — choose by surface, not a global winner. Apply when labeling steps in a Fluent wizard; leave GOV.UK question wording alone. Fail Fluent multistep using Continue/Back as this usage, or a house Next/Continue rule applied to the other surface.

When to use

Not when

Agent hint

Use Next/Previous on Fluent multistep; keep Continue/Back on GOV.UK questions.

Pass

Fail

Multistep uses Continue/Back as this Fluent usage; or a global Next/Continue winner applied to the other surface.
