Tracked in Phabricator
Task T326791

I typically dislike when tutorials auto-advance from step to step, as sometimes I may just be reading something more cautiously, or I may be momentarily distracted with some other task.

For context, I'm an experienced user, so not the target audience for this feature, but adding links between articles is a type of edit I always liked to do, so I enabled the newcomer homepage so that I could try it out, and was quite surprised when the tutorial auto-advanced without warning.

I would recommend reconsidering the decision of enabling the auto-play by default, and instead using some other nudge like flashing the next number in the tutorial (after a reasonable delay), so the user will know to click it when they finish reading the instructions.

Thank you for your feedback. We went with auto-advance as a way to show that next steps are available.

I'll check on the data we have regarding how steps are read now and if people play with the backward/forward buttons.

@Waldyrious, we will observe the interactions users have with the auto-advance and from there decide on the possible actions. This task is documented.
