This page defines the use case for several common actions.
The action of deleting an element or a set of elements implies that the element(s) will be completely removed, and it is not possible to recover the element(s) after deletion. The delete icon shown below can also be used for clearing actions, such as clearing input field content.
Since this is a permanent action, you must trigger the user with a confirmation message. This message must be native and without Lexicon styling.

The action of sending an element or a set of elements to the recycle bin implies that the element(s) will not be completely removed and can be recovered.

Cancel and close differ much from deleting or sending to the Recycle Bin. You can find this action in the top right corner of modals.

The done action should be displayed as a primary button. Use this action in all modals that display a table, list, or a card view. This can be used for one or several elements.

The convention in Lexicon is to use Select instead of Choose, as Select is a more formal word.
Select means "to carefully choose"; it also means "to use a mouse or keystrokes to mark something on a computer screen". Choose doesn't convey the true intention of the action for us.
