- An interaction design pattern used to make applications easier to learn and less error-prone. It does so by deferring some advanced or rarely-used features to a secondary screen and designing workflows where information is revealed when it becomes relevant to the current task. A classic example of this pattern is the print dialog in macOS, which shows only a small subset of choices. ← Wikipedia
