Confusing Instruction under FAQ

[Decaxical]

The instructions given in the FAQ can be confusing for non-technical / non-Computer Science Students. Saying "overwrite the empty data file it creates with the file that contains the data of your previous TAssist home folder." can be confusing especially since the data file is in a data folder that is in the home folder instead of being directly in the home folder.

Having images to explain what you mean will definitely help here

Inaccurate Instructions under FAQ

Note from the teaching team: This bug was reported during the Part II (Evaluating Documents) stage of the PE. You may reject this bug if it is not related to the quality of documentation.

it is stated that "overwrite the empty data file it creates". However, when the user installs a TAssist on another computer the data file will not be empty and will instead have the sample data.
This can be confusing for the user as the data file will not be empty.

• I disagree

Reason for disagreement: I believe that there is a misunderstanding here. The bug referenced is pointing out the error of having an "empty data file" while the bug I am trying to say is that non-technical / non-Computer Science students might be confused as to how they should transfer their data to another computer.

1. Having diagrams included in your UG here would be helpful
2. The file that contains the data in TAssist is not in the home folder like the answer is saying but rather in the data folder which is not a file
