1. An image forming apparatus that performs a setting process, the image forming apparatus comprising:
an interface, wherein the interface is able to receive, from an instruction operation service via a network, a first written instruction for performing a setting process on or configuration control of the image forming apparatus;
one or more processors; and
one or memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image forming apparatus to perform the functions of:
an identifying unit configured to identify a second command using information included in a first command contained in the first written instruction, wherein the second command corresponds to the first command and provides a process for canceling a process executed with the first command;
a creation unit configured to, in a case where the second command has been identified and an instruction to execute the process provided by the first command is given according to the first written instruction, generate a second written instruction to execute the second command identified by the identifying unit; and
a control unit configured to, according to a user operation, execute the second written instruction generated by the creation unit.
