Looking at separate screens can miss the connections between them. A task may begin clearly and still become confusing when the next page loses context or an action finishes without feedback.
Choose one ordinary goal and follow it from the first step to completion. Include a correction, a return visit, or a different input method where relevant. Record the point where the person needs information the interface does not provide.
Use those observations to prioritize the revision. A focused improvement to a broken transition may matter more than polishing several unrelated components. The complete flow gives a visual review a practical outcome to assess.
- Choose one ordinary goal.
- Include a correction or return visit.
- Revise the point where context is lost.
A small working example.

A note to keep beside it.
Consistency is valuable where it carries learned meaning. Keep familiar behavior dependable while allowing different tasks to have the structure they need.
