Some comments on your comments:

We should strive for consistency, i.e. we should use the similar UI
widgets for similar types of actions. For example in prototype2a, I
don't think mixing icons-only style (aspects manager) and icons+text
style (create new review etc.) for user-selectable actions is a good
idea.

Toggle buttons represent binary decisions: on vs. off; I wouldn't use
them for navigation techniques. Tabs were made for this.

And finally: Is it really necessary to introduce another navigational
layer (new review/existing reviews/...) instead of showing all the
options on one screen? The original bug description states the screen
would become "cluttered" - In my opinion, however, this is not the case.
Having five or six options on one screen should work fine.

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

Status in RevAger: In Progress

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.
