Description

Problem:

  • After you install an extension you don't know what to do to use the extension

Proposal:

  • After you install an extension you get an "open" button to navigate to the extension's entry point, if defined. Examples of entry points:
    • Home page of an app
    • Admin page (e.g. Active Directory extension)
    • Admin page listing all available synytaxes for an extension contributing a new syntax
    • etc

Example:

  • Step 1: Install

  • Step 2: Continue

    step2-continue.png

  • Step 3: Open

    step3-open.png

Rationale:

  • Users are used to this way of working in the app store they use: Google Store, Apple Store, etc.
