WordPress prompts users with a 4-step update slideshow in a contextual way while working on a post. The short slideshow explains the feature quickly then leaves the user to use it for themselves while at it.

Why it’s great:

✅ Small but effective - Although the slideshow doesn’t take up much space on the screen, because the rest is shadowed it does a great job drawing the users’ attention.

✅ Visual support - With visuals to support the explanation in the copy, WordPress helps users get a good feel of how the feature works. Visualization also keeps users engaged and helps them remember details.

✅ Skippable - In case the onboarding element is viewed by a user who is already familiar with the update, or in case there are users who are uninterested, WordPress puts a close button on the slideshow which is always a great practice.
