Do you know to provide a "Save and Close" option?

Last updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 10 months ago.See history

When the user is creating or editing data on a webpage, there are two buttons and one link you need to provide.

So the options are:

  • Save (button) - Saves the data and allows the user to keep editing
  • Save and Close (button) - Saves the data and returns to the previous screen
  • Cancel (link) - returns to the previous screen
