Short interview answer

Users need confirmation that page context changed. Depending on the router and product, move focus to the page heading or a route-announcement target and update the document title, while avoiding unexpected focus movement for in-page state changes.

Key takeaway

Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
