I've seen abuse of this pattern. I am currently re-designing a medical form that has about 50 steps on separate pages, and if you do an error on page 5 and notice it later on page 45, you have to hit back 40 times and refill those 40 pages again.

- majewsky 9y agoThe ticket machines of Deutsche Bahn (the German national railway) solve this rather nicely. The dialog is separated into about 10 pages, but the pages are laid out as tabs at the screen's top edge. So that gives you a sense of progression, and an easy way to jump back to any earlier page to change the selection. The rest of the selections are retained properly as far as I recall. Furthermore, every page is populated with sensible defaults, so if you're a single adult who wants a single ticket for today, you can enter your destination and then jump straight to checkout.
