The rule

Every section of content must guide the user forward.

A user should always know what to do next. The content should offer clear next steps or related information.

A content section should never feel like a dead end. The user needs to know what to do next. Each section must point to the next step or related content. This keeps the user engaged with the information. It helps the user continue their learning or task.

A student reads a lesson about history. At the end of the lesson, there are links. These links go to more lessons about related history topics. The student can easily choose what to learn next. This prevents the student from stopping their learning.
