Who can do this?
Both pages are shown to every signed-in person who has not yet confirmed the current beta notices or has not yet finished onboarding. You need no special rights for this.
First start, onboarding and notices
After your first sign-in you confirm the beta notices and see the welcome page.
What is it for?
Before you use Illumentis for the first time, two pages appear one after the other. They explain that Illumentis is still in its beta phase, and they let you decide on an optional setting.
On the first page you read the beta notices and confirm them with a checkmark. It is like the house rules you sign before moving in: you know what you are getting into. If the notices change later, Illumentis asks you to confirm them again.
On the second page, the welcome page, you learn that Illumentis saves your manuscripts automatically. There you also decide whether you want to send anonymous data to help improve the app. The default is off.
How it works

What you see afterwards: With the box ticked, you can finish the page.
-
Choose “Confirm and continue”.
What you see afterwards: The page “Welcome to your workroom” opens.

Your data
The confirmation of the notices and the completion of onboarding are stored in your account, not in your browser. They therefore apply on every device. Illumentis sends anonymous latency and sync data only if you turn the switch on. You can change the choice later under “Data & Privacy” in the account settings.
Limits
As long as the confirmation is missing, Illumentis redirects every other page to the beta notices. Without the checkmark, the page cannot be finished. Onboarding appears only once per account. The beta notices come back when their version changes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I skip onboarding?
No. As long as you have not confirmed the beta notices, Illumentis redirects you to this page. On the welcome page you finish onboarding with “Enter the shelf” or with Ctrl+Enter.
Where do I change my choice about anonymous data later?
In the account settings, in the “Data & Privacy” section. The same switch is there, labeled “Send anonymous latency & sync data for app optimization”.
