Here are some notes on the UX for Evolution’s First-Run Assistant. I have added them as issues but I thought it might be a good idea to post them in Discourse as well.
Welcome
UX: It is not obvious that the user is in a wizard. Adding text like “Welcome to Evolution’s First-Run Assistant” would be very helpful. Also, the user does not know that the Next button moves them through the wizard activities. Some text might be useful here: “Click on Next to proceed through the wizard” or something like that.
UX: It would be good to provide more information on what a “collection account” is versus a normal account.
Wizard Action 1: Restore Backup File
UX : The checkbox and field are not necessary. Replace them with “Restore Evolution backup file? (Y/N).” If the user enters “Y,” the wizard moves to the file navigation window. If the user enters “N,” the wizard goes on to the Identity section. If they want to go on to the Identity section, you could let users move onward by clicking Next.
Wizard Action 1: Choose a backup file
UX: Change the text to “Find backup file (with .*** sufffix):” where *** is the backup file suffix. The suffix would help the user find the backup file, and the verb “Find” lets the user know they are looking for something, which makes it easier for them to realize they are navigating the file system.
Wizard Action: Identity
UX: The sentence that begins “The ‘optional’ field” is not necessary. The user probably understands what “optional” means.
UX: The sentence next to the checkbox is vague. There could be more info, maybe. What users would want to uncheck the box and what would happen if they left it unchecked. Who would benefit from unchecking the box?
