Starting with Elements is hard

One of the complaints that comes up routinely is that Elements is hard to get going with

The paradigm is different from Classic and other apps

You could do a lot to get users past that first hump … and reduce support overheads.

examples

Tooltops - you don’t have any. They help explain to beginners - hover over a tool and you get a brief explanation

… or do it like in Classic …

Jol not disagreeing with you here, but I joined with Beta in 2024 and it was less of an app than it is is now. I have this knack of playing and destroying and trying to do things I want to do is my way of learning. It might not be everyone’s starting point but it has stood me in great stead over my IT years with vsroiuos programmes. I had to introduce a full ERP system from scratch for a medical company, set up a new computer set up and join three warehouses over 300 miles apart. I dint have a clue were to start so I just tried, broke everything and learned how to do things and in the end I succeeded by failing.

Thats perhaps thats why I like a demo project to wreck and learn. There are lots of these hidden in the old posts. Also found this community great for unsticking my walls as I hit them.
