User story & summary:
As a newcomer working on an "Add a link" task, I want the task to be straightforward, quick, and clearly explained, so that my editing experience feels easy and rewarding, increasing the likelihood that I'll complete the task and return to edit again.
Background:
This task is critical because the current "Add a link" logic can sometimes lead to a confusing experience, and refining the flow could help ensure that newcomers have a smooth editing experience.
When a newcomer taps on a specific link suggestion in the article view and the task opens in the Visual Editor (VE), should we navigate directly to that particular suggestion, even if it's not the first suggestion on the page?
- Option 1: Surface only the tapped link suggestion? If so, would we need to adjust the task design to make this approach intuitive? (For example the 1/1 suggestion counter and Next button no longer add value and might be confusing).
Option 2: Should we highlight the tapped link suggestion first while still surfacing the other link suggestions (two or more)? If so, should we clarify this in the pop-up text to avoid giving the impression that newcomers are expected to complete more than they anticipated?
We should move forward with option 1.
Designs for option 1
(see T379854: Surfacing "add a link" from an Article: link UX )
- Removing the counter, and replacing that text with 'Add a suggested link'
- Removing Previous/Next arrows
Acceptance Criteria:
- Technical research spike: investigate the feasibility and pros and cons of the two options. Write a short summary in this task detailing the work involved and estimated effort of each.
- Complete initial proof of concept to move forward with Option 1.
