A1 - User Test Tasks

The following tasks were prepared to guide participants through the core functionalities of the Kolibri Sync plugin during user testing. These tasks were used to observe user interaction with the plugin’s features for creating, importing, and exporting design tokens and styles. The tasks were not shared with participants in advance; instead, participants were encouraged to think aloud and share their impressions as they explored the plugin. If a predefined task was missed during the session, we would guide the participant to complete it.
