Yes - I think Andrey and the team need to give some serious thought to how they communicate the new features to both existing and new users. There are some seriously useful capabilities here but a) they are not obvious; and b) it is not clear how they can be used.
This problem has always existed with MLO - I can remember being seriously confused when I started to use it and It was only with some perseverance that I worked out a way of using it that worked for me. Its strength (it can be used in lots of different ways) is also its weakness (there are lots of different ways of doing things). I thought the tutorial file that came with the mobile app was good but not sure whethere that would work here. Another option would be some sort video showing particular features and how they can be used. If they are kept short then people can dip into them. Another simpler idea which has always worked for me are tips of the day- particularly covering simpler features (eg how to move tasks using hotkeys - which keeps coming up (Alt+Shift+<cursor key>; and hide/show view panel (Alt+F1)).

It might be an idea for the developers to include a introduction page that opens up on first viewing of MLO which briefly explains/illustrates all the features in the latest version. -- Lisa _____ Lisa Stroyan, mailto: lstro...@gmail.com <mailto:lstro...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
