Hi Microsoft Learn Team,

I recently went through the "Let's customize your experience on Microsoft Learn" setup wizard and noticed a minor UI/text issue on the final step ("Get Recommendations").

The submit button at the bottom of the page is currently labeled "Finished". According to standard UI/UX best practices, action buttons should use imperative verbs (commands) to describe the action the user is about to take. Therefore, the button should ideally be updated to say "Finish".

I have attached a screenshot of the page for reference. It is a small detail.

Thanks!

    The label Finished is not aligned with Microsoft UI guidance for wizard and multi-step tasks.

    • For wizards, the standard label is Finish to close the window and complete the task.
    • Microsoft guidance also states Done should not be used.
    • More generally, button labels should be concise, specific, and usually use a verb that describes the action.

    Based on that guidance, Finish is the appropriate label instead of Finished for the final step of that setup wizard.

    For Learn-specific UI issues like this, the documented path is to report it through Feedback at the bottom of the Learn unit/page.
