Return visitors to review after a targeted correction

A review screen may offer Change links that send visitors back to the start of the entire form. A small correction then becomes a long and uncertain repeat journey.

What to change

Ask for a targeted editing route that makes the relevant question easy to change and returns to a refreshed review when dependencies allow.

A worked example

Illustrative example

Editing an email address returns to the review with the corrected address visible. Editing location additionally requests a valid service choice for that location.

How to check the result

Accept when changes follow the shortest sensible route and the final review reflects every correction and relevant dependency.

A mistake to avoid

Automatically skipping dependent questions can make editing fast while leaving an internally inconsistent request ready to submit.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
