wither help page of archive.s.o
Closed, MigratedEdits Locked

Description

I'm not sure there is a point in the Help tab of the archive.s.o browsing interface. For regular users, the UI should be intuitive enough for usage, as nobody will read the help before giving up. For advanced users that want to know more, we should just point to docs.s.o (and possibly move there the relevant content of the Help tab if it is missing).

I think we should keep it as it enables to get a quick overview of the currently implemented features
in the web application.

Nevertheless, it could be extended with more sections, notably one explaining how the archive content
download through the vault works.

OK, fair enough, I'm closing this then.
Still, please minimize the amount of documentation content that is duplicated in that help page w.r.t. docs.s.o, because keeping them in sync will become a pain soon. For instance, for identifiers, examples are fine, but for anything more in depth we should point to the detailed page on docs.s.o.
