There isn’t one standard set of guidelines. Platforms evolve, new ones come, guidelines will always be contradicting each others in weird ways (like this button positioning).
- drcongo 3y agoI've seen Windows "wizards" that manage to swap them between steps.
- AndroidKitKat 3y agoThe only justification in my mind that makes sense for having it one way and then the next screen is the opposite is in the case of destructive actions (e.g. formatting a drive). It can help prevent users on autopilot from nuking things. The only example of this that comes to mind is factory resetting a Nintendo Switch, but I'm sure there are much more.

- Zanfa 3y agoI have a HP wide format printer where after loading in a roll of paper, it presents a "Paper loaded successfully" dialog, with an "Ok" button to dismiss the message. The fun part is that the dialog also dismisses automatically in a couple of seconds and the UI underneath has the "Unroll paper" button in the exact same position where "Ok" used to be. I must have accidentally unrolled the paper immediately after loading it in dozens of times by now.
