Examples of Progressive Disclosure
An example of progressive disclosure is the print dialog where you can initially choose how many copies to print, the printer to use and whether you want to print the full document or only certain pages. On the secondary (advanced options) screen one can then modify the full set of options.
In its purest format, progressive disclosure is about offering a good teaser. A good teaser can include the following:
- A sample of what is next
- An introductory task that is most common
- A high level view of what is expected
- A wizard that walks the user through the task
- A button that leads to more advanced functions (such as editing)
Progressive disclosure says: "Make more information available within reach, but don't overwhelm the user with all the features and possibilities".
