Anatomy

The page view with image includes three existing components: stacked modal, button, and page indicator.

A. Stacked Modal

The stacked modal navigation bar includes the title and a “Close” button for users to exit the modal.

B. Content

• Image: Optional, however using eye-catching images to show visualized features is recommended.
• Title: Use a clear and concise title to provide users an overview of the feature.
• Description: Explain your feature briefly. The content section is scrollable if the description is too long.

C. Call-To-Action Buttons

• “Next”: Use the “Next” button for the first or middle pages in the multiple page view.
• “Start”: Use the “Start” button for the last page in the multiple page view of or on the single page view.
• From Profile: Don’t use Call-To-Action Button when you open What’s New from the profile page.

D. Page Indicator

The page indicator is used to show the progress of the wizard when there are multiple pages.

Adaptive Design

The what’s new component supports both compact and regular sizes. The SDK also supports landscape views for both compact and regular sizes.

Variations

The what’s new component includes a list view design and page view design. Both include ‘with image’ and ‘no image’ options. We recommend a short user flow with images.

Choose list view if:

have 3 – 6 updates to be announced
want users to spend less time reading each update
have a short description and/or small images

List view with imagse (left) and without images (right)

Choose page view if:

have 1 – 4 updates to be announced
have a long description and/or big images
want users to spend more time reading each update
