Requirements
  • The first onboarding dialog points to Save icon
  • The second onboarding dialog points to user menu after the user saves the first item, to inform them where they can find it later.

For both dialogs:

  • The onboarding dialogs should only ever be showed once for users
  • Dialog is shown only to accounts in the experiment/eligibility group
  • The onboarding dialog only appears when the Save icon or User Menu is visible on the screen
  • The dialog can be dismissed by tapping on "Ok" or tapping outside the the dialog
  • Ensure we do not add a performance burden for all users (e.g. load the entirety of Codex on page load)

Note: The onboarding dialog on mobile are intentionally different from the the Desktop one. Implementing the mobile version should not affect the Desktop dialogs.
