            Bug ID: 489523
           Summary: Reconciliation wizard - allow user to hide explanation
                    pane
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Solus
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: ux-ui
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kdedev at tlcnet.info
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When the Reconciliation Wizard starts it always presents the explanation of
what reconciliation is. Allow the user to hide this in future wizard runs with
a checkbox.
Alternatively, present the information next to the first pane where a user
performs action, the statement date and balances in the next pane. (Credit to
https://www.nngroup.com/articles/wizards/#toc-recommendations-for-designing-usable-wizards-6
where I got that idea)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an account in KMyMoney
2. Go to Account - Reconcile

OBSERVED RESULT
The explanation of what reconciliation is and what to expect on the next pane
of the wizard appears with no ability to hide it. The user must see and click
through this every time before they can take action.

DESIRED RESULT
Similar to other software, make a "show this help next time" checkbox, checked
by default. Alternatively, show the information next to the input on the next
pane.
Rationale: After a user has done this a number of times, the information is
redundant, and having to click past it is more of a hindrance than a help.
