Thanks for the new prototype...it's getting better and better now :-)

In prototype4 and prototype5 you use rather small icons together with a
lot of text, unlike the current 1.2 rc(r19) version. The main difference
to prototype3 it has rather few text (just one word below every icon),
supported by this explanatory text, which is only visible, when you
hover with the mouse over the button. Personally I like this approach
better than always displaying the full explanatory text besides every
button.

To keep it more consistent, we could employ your already available help
system here, to show the explanatory text.

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.
