Comment (by mcs):

 Replying to [comment:10 dunqan]:
 > Would the consequences of this approach be that existing users could no
 longer return to the base onboarding once an update's been released?

 Yes. The update "track" (aka tour type) is selected if the browser has
 been opened at least once with an older version of the tour set (this is
 handled via hidden prefs named `browser.onboarding.tourset-version` and
 `browser.onboarding.seen-tourset-version`). So far we have only used one
 one tour set version, which is 2. When we release Tor Browser 8.5 we would
 bump that to 3, which means users who upgrade to 8.5 will be placed on the
 update track. New users will remain on the "new" track until we release a
 Tor Browser that has a tour set version higher than 3. The logic that
 implements tour selection is here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 browser.git/tree/browser/extensions/onboarding/OnboardingTourType.jsm#n22

 > I don't think we've got any data on how often users return to this
 feature after initial onboarding – do we?

 No, not unless some data (or feeling) was captured during the UX testing
 sessions.
