As a digital product designer, it's important to understand the fundamental principles of user behaviour and how they interact with interfaces. One key aspect of this is the concept of “Habituation”, where users become accustomed to certain patterns and actions within an interface.

In the case of delete action, users have likely become habituated to clicking the delete button on confirmation without much thought or consideration. To break this pattern and encourage more conscious decision-making, Craft Docs implemented a unique confirmation prompt in the form of an equation. This prompt requires the user to actively engage with the interface and solve a problem, thus disrupting their habitual behaviour and encouraging a more deliberate decision.

Similarly, Figma implemented a different type of confirmation prompt, which requires the user to enter their team name to confirm the deletion of a team. This approach also disrupts the habitual pattern of clicking a delete button and forces the user to consciously consider their actions.

These types of prompts align with fundamental UX principles, such as making interfaces more user-friendly and intuitive, reducing user error, and enhancing user satisfaction. By breaking habitual patterns and prompting more conscious decision-making, designers can create interfaces that are more effective, engaging, and user-centric.
