Wp-calypso: Nav Unification: Show a modal to customers the first time they log in

[cpapazoglou]

In relation to Nav Unification: Research incremental rollout mechanism and outline options:

We’ll also show a modal to customers the first time they log in to help orient them to the change.

@davemart-in could you please elaborate more on this? Do we have any designs, user journey?

I'll cc @sfougnier on this one.

I have been exploring using a stepped approach that allows us to showcase the updated features. The intention of this is to introduce the unified nav and tell a brief story of how it works in an attempt to cut down on any confusion.

A few things:

• The copy is not final but I wanted to get the design out in the world.
• Is there potential to use animated gifs in lieu of static imagery? It could help tell the story and show off specific interactions.

Thanks @sfougnier for working on this! This stepped approach seems very good and makes sense!

The copy is not final but I wanted to get the design out in the world.

I understand that the copy is not final, but is the wp-admin wording something that may confuse most of the simple users? Many of them may not even know its existence. A usp for all the users would be "Faster navigation" cause we have surfaced the most used links (Posts, Pages) and we have also used the flyouts.

Is there potential to use animated gifs in lieu of static imagery? It could help tell the story and show off specific interactions.

I don't see a blocker here, go for it! We just need to make sure that we create images / gifs for the variation that we will launch (currently we have developed only i1).

Agreed, I definitely don't think we would want to include that jargon here. I imagine that can be cut, but I am not the best wordsmith and wanted to express intent here.

Awesome! I can work on creating those.
