When closing a design, should be 'Save, Discard (or 'Don't Save'), and Cancel'

[MarqueIV]

When closing a design, you are presented with two options, Save and Cancel. Save works as expected, but Cancel breaks UI/UX designs because it is not a 'Cancel' operation, but rather a 'Discard' operation.  There actually is no way to cancel in case you accidentally initiated a close operation allowing you to simply remain in your work.

As such, it should be changed to 'Save, Discard and Cancel' with 'Discard' working the way the current 'Cancel' button does, and 'Cancel' allowing you to just go back to the design, dismissing or 'canceling' the close operation as if it hadn't been performed.

Anything else is not following tried and true standards and is very confusing, and potentially disasterous to the end user, thinking they're simply canceling the save operation, but instead losing all their work.

This is one inconsostant thing some people do not notice I think.

In your preferences, there is an option called "Automatic version on close".

If this is checked, it only gives you a "save" and "cancel" option.

If you do NOT have it checked, it gives you a standard "save" "cancel" "don't save" option.

Perhaps this was overlooked in testing?

Here is a screencast for it: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/1b957b61-6add-49fa-9015-d266cc00ed3b

You're right @MarqueIV, this is bad behavior.  Thanks for the screencast @Anonymous.  Changed status to accepted.

One wonders why this choice was every made in the first place?!

Thanks @Autum.S. This should be Fusion's default status or at least change the "cancel" behavior of version save dialog box..
