# 0107 User‑friendly onboarding in Topic Maps for non‑technical users
Hi Proton team,
I’d like to propose a single feature that would improve Proton Drive:
Idea: Add clear onboarding tooltips, short tutorial videos, and example tag sets to help users who are not comfortable with metadata understand and adopt the new Tag/Topic Map functionality.
Why it matters:
- Reduces the learning curve for casual or non‑technical users, encouraging wider adoption.
- Prevents misuse (e.g., overly generic tags) by guiding best practices.
- Aligns with Proton’s mission to make privacy‑first tools accessible to everyone.
Suggested implementation (high‑level):
- When the Tag button first appears, show a one‑time tooltip explaining “What is a tag?” with a “Got it” dismiss button.
- Include a short (30‑second) video in the Help Center demonstrating how to create a tag and view a Topic Map.
- Provide a few pre‑populated tag suggestions (e.g., “Project‑X”, “Client‑Y”) that users can copy.
Thank you for considering this. I can help craft the onboarding copy if needed.
Best,
Mat Huppertz
