Including onboarding for new users helps reduce cognitive load by guiding them through your app or website step-by-step. This makes it easier for users to understand how to use the interface without feeling overwhelmed.

Here are some guidelines:

• Keep it simple: Use short, clear instructions. Avoid long paragraphs.
• Interactive walkthroughs: Show users how to complete key tasks with pop-up tips or guided tours.
• Progress indicators: Let users know how many steps are left in the onboarding process.
• Highlight key features first: Focus on the most important features that users need to get started.
• Allow skipping: Give users the option to skip the onboarding if they prefer to explore on their own.
