Add option to cover the usecase of users uploading on behalf of someone else
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

This ticket is dependent on implementing T375494

Problem

The present approach does not accommodate the use case that was discovered in one of the research findings i.e. users uploading a photo on behalf of someone else. This ticket is to implement a design that helps uploaders understand the process required for uploading on behalf of someone else. The usability results for the design proposed here is summarized in T373123

Solution
  • A new selection in q1 under "not own work" will be added to address the aforementioned use case that explains the process of uploading such works

I think the word "owner" should be removed as it is very ambiguous. We have many cases of people who think they can upload a photo just because they bought a physical copy.

I also would add a sentence like: "Only use this option if you are sure that you get the permission".

Thanks @GPSLeo for helping improve this workflow. Your suggestion of removing the word “owner” makes sense given people can misinterpret it. I shall update it in the design.

Re adding this copy: "Only use this option if you are sure that you get the permission" - I fear longer the copy gets less likely the users are to read it carefully or fully as always observed in usability tests. Also the option was pretty clear and people did not chose it lightly unless they were told they had permission. So additional copy may not add much but only make the text seem longer, there by taking the focus away from the main message.
