Context Bar and Popup Tutorials Disrupting Workflow

[johns57960963]

For me, the context bar has been useless at best, but more often it is simply in my way. It frequently covers the image or text that I am working on, making it difficult to see and edit my work. This obstruction disrupts my creative process and hinders productivity. At least the context bar can be turned off, which is a relief.

Now in InDesign, every time I click on an image, a popup tutorial video about how to use the new text-to-image AI feature appears from the context bar This video covers about a third of my screen and whatever image I have selected. This is extremely frustrating as it prevents me from continuing with my project without first closing the video.

I strongly believe that these popups—whether advertisements or tutorials—should not interfere with the workspace. I hope this does not become a common practice, as it greatly impacts the user experience.

The Context Bar can be disabled by either clicking the three dots on the bar to access its menu, or via the Window > Contextual Task Bar.

I also think that after clicking 'Got It' the video won't show again.

Amen.  Thank goodness the contextual menu pop up can be turned off.  It always is located exactly where you need to be actually working.  Who needs this anyway, when those options and more are nearly always a right-click away when you actually want it.

I agree--the tutorial pop up windows are also ridiculous.  If you want easy access to tutorials for users who do not understand what the HELP menu is for, just put an icon at the top right that can be clicked.  Even worse is when that pop up forces you to click on it to continue working.

Both options listed below in "Correct answer" remove both the Task Bar and the much more annoying pop up window with an instruction video. I want the Task Bar, not the pop up window. Once might be ok, but it pops up every time layer with mask selected. Must have "dismissed" it 30 times working on last image.

"Closing the Task Bar" is not a solution for those that want to use the Task Bar, we may call this a "Workaround" for some customers.
