What happens to a form when the CANCEL button is pressed?

When the CANCEL button is pressed on a form, it typically indicates that the user has chosen to stop the current operation without saving any changes. In many applications, pressing the CANCEL button allows the user to suspend the form, meaning that it can be returned to later for completion. This approach provides a way for users to delay submission, ensuring they can return to the form when they are ready to finish filling it out.

Options that suggest instant submission, deletion, or permanent rejection do not accurately reflect the common behavior associated with a CANCEL action. These actions imply a final or irreversible decision, which is not the typical use case for a CANCEL button, designed instead to allow users to retain the option to complete and submit the form at a later time. Thus, the choice that aligns with standard practices in form handling is that the form is suspended for later completion.
