Create 3 usability options for a committed user testing Apr 3

Registered by kevin gunn

This blueprint is meant to capture the design team specifications, priorities around an effort to collect usability testing for UnityNext. Recent feedback has indicated that the UnityNext design is currently too complex for certain users, in order to help refine the behavior of screen transitions & make it more simple/obvious for users 3 options will be created for testing.
#1) very little hidden edge behavior
#2) medium focus on edge behavior
#3) edge behavior as-is, but emphasizing a key edge as a guide
more info can be found in spec link
