When should wait for steps be prioritized within a smart walk-thru?

Prioritizing wait for steps within a smart walk-thru is essential when the pace of the walk-thru needs to match user actions. This ensures that users can process information effectively before moving on to the next step. If the walk-thru advances quicker than the user can navigate or comprehend the content, it risks causing confusion and frustration, leading to a poor user experience.

In scenarios where matching the pace is crucial, wait for steps allow users the necessary time to read or interact with elements before the next part of the walk-thru takes place. This can be particularly important in complex applications where users may need to click through options, input data, or otherwise engage with the interface actively. By incorporating these pauses, the walk-thru facilitates a smoother, more user-friendly experience that aligns with the learner's actions and comprehension speed.
