Implementing undo and correction mechanisms

Implementing undo and correction mechanisms

Everyone makes mistakes. Users give wrong inputs. AI makes wrong guesses. Good design lets both sides fix errors quickly without punishment. This safety net makes people comfortable trying new features.

Make undo immediate and obvious. When AI changes something, show a clear undo button right away. This removes the fear of permanent mistakes. Users experiment more when they know they can reverse any action.

Turn corrections into teaching moments. Instead of "Report error," say "Help us learn." This positive approach makes users feel like partners, not complainers. They become more willing to improve the system.

Apply corrections consistently. When a user fixes an AI mistake, use that feedback right away. If they correct "Jon" to "John" in one email, remember this for future suggestions in the same thread. If they undo an auto-crop on a photo, ask before cropping similar images. Each correction teaches the system their preferences.
