• Some users fear loosing all their preferences when clicking on 'reset all preferences'
  • include some indication to clarify that this action can be undone
  • is this an issue?
• A user (using a magnifying glass) didn't see the 'reset all preferences' option
  • ensure that the option is visible at low vision conditions

• Some users expect to find 'type style' as one of the basic options
  • add 'type style' after 'type size'

• Options that are not directly related to the items in the page are confusing
  • control options awareness, so they are visible only if related items are available in the page (e.g., 'show captions' should appear only if the page contains video or audio sequences)
  • what if there are captions elsewhere on the site? Maybe preference curation can be determined by the implementer?

• A user expected to find some help
  • Question if some contextual helf or guidance is needed for general or specific features
