There’s a better way to approach a comprehensive tutorial, a bit more gently. One way is to let users opt out if they need to, rather than locking them into mandatory onboarding. Another way is to make sure users know that they can breeze through it if possible. If onboarding feels unending, they’re likely to just quit.
By keeping the end in sight, they keep the user engaged. Modal windows, like progress bars and checklists, are some of our favorite UI flows at Appcues, since they tap into this powerful user psychology.
