💡 Best Practices #
✅ Do's #
- ✅ Use sequential coachmarks to guide users through complex flows
- ✅ Keep descriptions short and actionable (under 50 words)
- ✅ Test your coachmarks on different screen sizes
- ✅ Use
highlightPaddingto add breathing room around small targets - ✅ Dismiss coachmarks on user interaction for better UX
- ✅ Use
GlobalKeywhen highlighting widgets in complex layouts
❌ Don'ts #
- ❌ Don't show too many coachmarks at once (3-5 max per tour)
- ❌ Don't block critical UI interactions with coachmarks
- ❌ Don't use tiny font sizes that are hard to read
- ❌ Don't forget to handle coachmark state properly
- ❌ Don't show the same coachmark repeatedly to returning users
