GOV.UK Design System: Check answers pattern
Documents final review before submission, sectioned summary lists, change links, pre-populated answers when returning to previous pages, and returning users to the check answers page without repeating the rest of the transaction.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Confirmation page | Choose confirmation page when the transaction is finished and the user needs endpoint proof plus what happens next. | The page appears only after the final action succeeds according to the authoritative system of record. | GOV.UK check answers supports the boundary that review appears immediately before confirmation, while confirmation appears after submit. |
| Multi-step form | Choose a multi-step form when the transaction has several ordered pages or sections that need saved progress. | Continue validates and saves the current step before unlocking the next required step. | GOV.UK check-answers guidance supports review before submit, Change links, pre-populated returns, and returning to review. |
| Review before submit | Choose review before submit when users need to verify multiple captured answers immediately before committing a transaction. | Review loads only after required upstream answers are saved or clearly marks missing required sections. | GOV.UK supports review before confirmation, sectioned relevant answers, confidence and error reduction, Change links, pre-populated returns, not-provided answers, and newly required dependent questions. |
