A less daunting way to start indexing

Hi! I've been a user on Family search for a while and really have enjoyed indexing.

I just wanted to through an idea out there for the website.

The indexing tool is amazing, but it might seem a little daunting at first. I know there are tutorials out there and everything, but having the website itself walk through the user might be more helpful.

For example, I have indexed over 1000 records over the past couple years and just today learned that if I did not know a character of if it were unreadable, I can add "?" to replace it.

Cool snippets like that are hidden, I feel, throughout the website as a whole.

Having a better tutorial teaching a new friend those edge cases and cool snippets of info could make everyone's experience here that much better.
