The browser extension is mostly used aside the business application in the browser tab, resulting in a small window for SelfGuide with less space to show instruction tiles. The instruction tiles have been made smaller to be able to present at least 5 instructions to the user.
The side panel is not the primary workspace for the user and often get's just a bit of the available display space. Within this limited space, the user needs to find the relevant instruction without less interaction. To optimize this use case, the instruction tiles have been made smaller to be able to show more instruction tiles at once. As result, an instruction not in the top of the search results, for example the fourth or fifth position, is directly visible for the user.
We do understand that more information, like the description, might be needed before opening the instruction. All details are available as before on the full instruction tile when hovering the i on the small instruction tile.
The instruction viewer in the browser has a moving crosshair, this helps the user to follow the instruction while navigating through the instruction steps. This same behavior has been added to the browser extension.
Alongside, the crosshair visualization has been replaced by a light weight implementation to optimize performance.
