Handshake is a fictional app developed by the
UX Writers Collective for their course "UX Writing Fundamentals". Here are some samples of top-notch UX writing I did in the course.
DIALOG BOX — DESTRUCTIVE ACTION
Before
After
CHALLENGE
With destructive actions, we're asking the user if they want to cancel/delete something. It's essential to be clear and direct so the user understands the result of the action they choose.
SOLUTION
Make the primary action clear and reflect the title of the dialog box. Ensure the secondary action helps the user back
out of the destructive action.

Help the user know exactly where they are within the app flow and make it easy for them to navigate as they wish.

Add a navigation menu with clear titles that show the user where they are within the app. Change the "Back" link to a button to make the action clearer and easier to find.
