What is a Wizard?

A Wizard is a guided, step-by-step process flow that helps users complete complex tasks with ease. It simplifies the interaction by breaking down the process into manageable steps, ensuring clarity and user engagement throughout the experience.

When to use a Wizard?

Wizards are particularly useful when a task involves multiple stages or requires user input at various points. They are ideal for onboarding processes, form submissions, and any situation where users may benefit from guided assistance to navigate through intricate workflows.

When not to use a Wizard?

Avoid using a Wizard when the task is straightforward and can be completed quickly without guidance. If users are already familiar with the process or if the steps can be completed independently without assistance, a Wizard may add unnecessary complexity and delay.

What is the anatomy of a Wizard?

The anatomy of a Wizard typically includes a series of screens or steps that guide the user through the process. Each step usually contains clear instructions, input fields, navigation buttons (like 'Next' and 'Back'), and sometimes progress indicators to show the user how far they are in the process. This structured approach helps maintain user focus and encourages completion.
