Actually it is a really good idea to redesign the first screen. But I
think it isn't that simple, because the user e.g. also needs the
possibility to open an existing review in Moderator mode, e.g. to plan
new meetings for this review and to create new invitation packages.

To improve the usability of the first screen I suggest to redesign it
completely. You can find a first prototype attached to this comment (3
slides). If we decide to redesign the screen, we should create a new
blueprint for this task.

Why would the user want to open an existing review in "instant" mode?

Bug description:
After choosing "instant review" on the startup screen (RevAger assistant), the user is offered the option to open an existing Review. But why? If there is already a saved review, this should be rather covered by the "scribe" mode already. Or is there something special about opening previous instant reviews?

Actually I think that both options offered there - the catalog manager and the "open review" function - should be part of the first screen, since they are not really mode-specific. Of course, putting all that those options in the startup screen would make it a bit too cluttered up, since we would have:

- Moderator mode
- Scribe mode
- Instant mode
- Language selection
- Catalog manager
- Open review

Maybe it would be worth considering a re-design of the first screen, i.e. offering only:

- Start new review
- Open existing review
- Open Catalog manager
- Select language

Choosing the first option would allow the user to specify the mode in the following wizard step.
