Add a back button from the classification summary

[brian-c]

People are hitting the "All done" button, and then realizing they forgot something.

I feel like this is the kinda thing that won't be an issue after you've done it twice.

A back button could be added to the summary, but this would expose the condor IDs and bios and talk options before the classification is really finished. Not the end of the world, but I don't want to encourage people to mark condors, see that they weren't identified in our data, and then go back and tweak things until they are.

Thoughts? @heathv @chrissnyder @chrislintott @whyte @stuartlynn

"I don't want to encourage people to mark condors, see that they weren't identified in our data, and then go back and tweak things until they are."

100% agree with this.

For now I've made the "finished" button a little less "CLICK ME!".

I feel pretty strongly that there needs to be some way for people to go back when they've accidentally clicked on the finished button. This has happened to me several times too. But I see the point about not wanting people to go back to change the tag number until they see a "known" bird.
A possible solution is to not immediately show the ID results, but have four options: "learn about the condors you saw", "talk", "next photo", and "go back". The IDs will be shown only when they click the "learn about the condors" button (and they can't go back).
Of course, this would have been ideal to work out in beta stage, but I guess some issues just slip through the cracks...

I agree with Dai -- I feel pretty strongly that there needs to be some way for people to go back. In the short time that I was doing some photos, I needed to go back twice...and it was very frustrating to have no way to do that. Dai's suggested solution makes sense to me...

[chrissnyder]

You would still hit a spot where you force the user to not to be able to go back. In this case, it would just be one more click away. I don't think it would be any more intuitive to block them from going back after clicking "learn more".

[dshizuka]

That's ok--of course at some point the user will not be able to go back. The issue is that users (including the scientists trying it out) often hit the button before they are actually done. I still find myself doing this sometimes. Having it be one click away will reduce this error a lot.
And I think there is a big psychological factor here--if users feel like they end up accidentally providing bad data, they become less motivated to keep going. Even though we may have ways to deal with this type of error post-hoc, the user does not know this and they feel bad about making mistakes.

I think that it's ok too to hit a spot where the user can't go back...As Dai says, I found that as I user I often hit the button before I was done and then was frustrated that I couldn't go back. I agree that it's a psychological issue--I felt bad too when I couldn't correct my error. You could even have the button say: "Photo complete (can't go back after clicking)" -- or something similar so that users understand the finality of clicking there.

Alex sent an e-mail to condorteam with our back button request but i will also post here:
Hi Zoo team!
We have had some lengthy discussion about the back button business and here's what we've concluded...

1st choice: IF (and only IF) Zooniverse can include the data on which users use the back button and how often, we want to allow users to go back and fix errors if they want to. We think that this will give us the best data and also make users the happiest. We know that you guys might not support this decision... if you are against supporting this, can you please clearly explain why? We've thought a lot about it and think this would be the best way for us to meet our goals...
2nd choice: have a screen that comes up once you are done with the photo that shows you how many birds you have tagged, etc. but not the bios, and let the users go back at this point to add more birds, etc.
3rd choice, add a “are you sure” pop-up when you hit the “all animals marked” button.

Please let us know what you guys think and how you will plan to proceed.
