A common complaint I heard at ASMS this year is that Skyline is hard to get started with because "it just sits there with its blank screen and stares at you". We see this on the support board too ("I wanted to load my raw data but it said I didn't have any transitions, what now?").
Several users agreed that if the Targets window had some kind of help text in it when a document is empty, that would be a big help. No need to go full Clippy, but something friendly that suggests a few different ways to get targets loaded would be an inexpensive but large usability boost.
