User onboarding implies the acquaintance of users with a new product or a feature. People will have a positive experience if you introduce new features at the right pace and prioritize them appropriately. Here's how you can use the principles of progressive disclosure to improve user onboarding:

• Focus on primary needs. Start by highlighting features that address users' main goals on your app or website. Introduce new features simply and reveal more only if users express interest.
• Analyze early behavior. Study user actions within the first 1-3 days of launch to identify popular initial features. Highlight these in early onboarding for a smoother introduction.
• Cater to different user groups. Recognize that some users explore all features, while others want a direct path to specific tasks. Tailor onboarding to accommodate both.
• Be concise. Keep descriptions brief and direct, focusing on essentials to maintain user engagement.
• Minimize steps. Limit onboarding to 4-5 clear steps, reducing guesswork to retain attention.
• Use familiar language. Speak in terms that users already use and understand about your product for better clarity and connection.
