Major changes that, if made without user awareness, can disorient users who are not able to view the entire page simultaneously.
Changes in context include changes of:
user agent;
viewport;
focus;
content that changes the meaning of the Web page.
Note
A change of content is not always a change of context. Changes in content, such as an expanding outline, dynamic menu, or a tab control do not necessarily change the context, unless they also change one of the above (e.g., focus).
Example
Opening a new window, moving focus to a different component, going to a new page (including anything that would look to a user as if they had moved to a new page), or significantly re-arranging the content of a page are examples of changes of context.
