Progressive disclosure is a design strategy that shows users only the essential information first, and reveals more details as needed. This prevents users from feeling overwhelmed by too much information at once, especially in complex interfaces.

You can use progressive disclosure in various settings like:

• Menus: Start with basic menu options and reveal more as users dig deeper.
• Onboarding flows: Show the most basic or important features one at a time and reveal more as users progress through the flow.
• Tutorials and help guides: Give simple overviews initially, then provide detailed steps when users click for more info.
• Forms and surveys: Show initial questions and display additional fields based on previous answers.

Progressive disclosure helps manage user interactions smoothly, making complex systems user-friendly and less daunting.
