Document differences between Simple and Advanced mode #536

Open lukeoftheshire opened 2 years ago

lukeoftheshire commented 2 years ago

Recently, the option to toggle between Simple and Advanced mode was added to the LAMP dashboard. However, this feature is not well documented yet. Since all users start LAMP in Simple mode by default (and the change is not clear, being only a toggle in the upper right corner of the dashboard), some users have complained of missing functionality if they were using features unique to Advanced Mode.

I see two problems to address here:

  1. I think we should reconsider whether the default state of LAMP is Simple or Advanced, as the average existing user may not figure out that they need to toggle the mode and may get frustrating when all they see is removed functionality.
  2. The differences between Simple and Advanced mode need to be put in the docs so we can refer to them in things like forum posts. I think adding a page to "How to use mindLAMP" would be a good idea for this.

I think the default should probably be Advanced Mode rather than Simple Mode. I think Advanced Mode is more user friendly and intuitive given it has all the functionality we typically cover when introducing new researchers to LAMP. Then, Simple Mode can be the secondary option
