The first time experience of this product is good in that it accommodates new users as well as those existing customers who are upgrading to this latest version.
On first entry to the app, I was shown a new document dialog that offered a few options: I could get started on a new document from scratch, open an existing document, watch a 90 second intro video, or open a sample “GettingStarted.rp” file.
In this case, I chose to open the sample “GettingStarted” file. The file opens in the native Axure editor. It provides a set of inline, interactive instructions; I was asked to create, link and publish a simple 2 page site by adding a button component from the Widget library.
After publishing to my browser, I was able to tap the button I’d just created to view another page in the sample site, which provides a demo of all the different interactive components Axure offers.
This first time experience is unobtrusive for existing users, and informative for new users by using the interact, don’t tell, method.
