I remember seeing a similar situation to the one @mmdolbow describes ("stuck in a screen") but couldn't reproduce it.

This tutorial is a huge improvement. With a track pad, "right click" isn't meaningful:

EIther say "right click or control + click" or do feature detection and cater the text to the user's setup.

Bug? After clicking the checkbox to clear the attributes dialog for a building, I got stuck in a screen like shown below.

Thanks @mmdolbow! I fixed that today.

Good suggestion, @samanpwbb 👍 I added some additional words to the welcome chapter, and a small interactive button-pressing task to make sure the user can left and right click.

Just a heads up, I'm planning to merge this today! 🎉

There are a few bugs in the snapping and undo behaviors, but I can fix those after it merges.
If there are any more last minute suggestions for adjusting the language before we unleash the translators on all this new content, let me know!

Great job to create this walkthrough. I'm now working to localize it, and I have found some issues

• When I select a node, It do not view the localized street name.
• The address scheme should be localized to. In Sweden, the attribute "state" has no meaning and the fields is in the wrong ordet.
• In addition, I have noted that it is somewhat inconsistent with period in the end of sentence of some instructions.

Edit 1:
It is also wrong in the All tags section:

Ideally, I would like the key addr:state to be hidden when it is not used in the address scheme.

Edit 2:

• In the beginning of the walkthrough for buildings, it say that the building is clearly a house. But in the description for house on the wiki, it say that a house forming half of a semi-detached pair, or one of a row of terraced houses. And dit house is clearly detached. Maybe I misunderstand.

Thanks for the feedback @magol! I moved your comments to a new issue #3976

Is there some robust link we can use to refer to the walkthrough, a 'start the walkthrough' url ?

Not currently - users are prompted to start it their first time using iD, or they can start it by opening the Help screen and clicking a button there. But we don't have a url parameter to autostart the walkthrough, if that's what you mean?

Yes. That would be handy.
