Interactive tutorials
An interactive tutorial teaches by having the user do the thing, not read about it — guiding real actions on a real or sample document, one step at a time. The best ones stay short, point at the live UI instead of a separate lesson, and let the user keep whatever they make.
'Learn the basics' runs a five-step tour on a populated practice file, teaching the foundational unit first — drag a frame — with the tool spotlighted in the real toolbar.

By step three the tour zooms into a real product card so 'change formatting in the design panel' maps to something concrete instead of an abstract sample.
