According to some style guides, a [[Menu (computing)|menu item]] or [[button]] labeled with a trailing ellipsis requests an operation that cannot be completed without additional information and selecting it will prompt the user for input.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://developer.apple.com/macos/human-interface-guidelines/menus/menu-anatomy/ |title=developer.apple.com: Menu and Menu Item Titles |access-date=2018-01-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180131140912/https://developer.apple.com/macos/human-interface-guidelines/menus/menu-anatomy/ |archive-date=2018-01-31 |url-status=live}}</ref> Without an ellipsis, selecting the item or button will perform an action without user input.

For example, the menu item "Save" overwrites an existing file whereas "Save as..." prompts the user for save options before saving.
