Adding in a review on this one as well. Similar to the previous review zooming out a bit on the content a higher level overview zoomed out would help the content to be easier to chunk in the readers mind. There seem to be 8 larger steps here and then 2 larger buckets. Will dive in more:
8 larger steps
Step 1: Initiate Backup
App prompts user to download the wallet backup kit
Step 2: Generate Backup Kit (this is titled "what is a backup kit", if rephrased it could be separated into one district step where the kit is generated)
Wallet creates a ZIP file containing: a. PDF with wallet descriptor and XPUB information b. Visual representation of recovery rules c. Wallet backup files in various formats
Step 3: Download Backup Kit
User saves the backup kit to their device
Step 4: Secure Backup Kit
User encrypts the ZIP file with a strong password
Step 5: Store Primary Copies
Users (e.g., Alice and Bob) store copies in their personal password managers
Step 6: Distribute Backup Components (possible options)
- Store encrypted backup kit with lawyer
- Store password in bank deposit box
- Place backup materials in home safe (USB drive, printout of will and recovery PDF)
- Store safe PIN in shared family password manager
Step 7: Set Up Secondary Access
- Provide children (heirs) with information on accessing home safe
- Inform children about the assisted route through lawyer and bank
Step 8: Maintain Backups
Regularly verify and update backups as needed
More high level
Then these are further separated into actions that are happening in the interface and things that are happening offline. For the online interactions with the interface these might be good to clarify to the person reading the content.
UI - interactive
Steps 1-4
Offline (mostly)
Steps 5-8
A diagram might help to visualize this for a reader so they can zoom out and understand the content at a higher level and connect how each main section fits into each other.
Summary
These steps could be shown as one high level diagram and then there are two color sections (one color is showing online activities and the other is showing offline activities).
This would be relevant for a UX designer looking at this page so that they understand what they design and what is educational
This is a major update. It contains the following main changes:
- Addressed @mouxdesign feedback regarding structure and readability. Thanks very much for the thorough feedback 🙏🏻.
- More concise breakdown of the individual components of the backup scheme.
- Added peivacy and security considerations.
- Added recovery scenarios
- Created mobile optimized images for the diagrams
Still to do:
- [x] Optimize images (dimensions, size, etc.)
- [x] Remove unused images from repo
- [x] Alt texts
Questions: The page is quite long. Maybe the first section (what needs to be backed up) could be part of the Bitcoin Backups page and I could only reference it here.

I think you can cut the paragraphs called 'Private keys' and 'Wallet configuration' as they don't add much more than what is already said above in the bullet list and illustration.
I left a bunch of small comments throughout (for some reason I couldn't directly suggest code changes on this PR).
Style comments:
- Sentence case everything (Assisted inheritance), lots of title case (Assisted Inheritance)
- Lists should not end with punctuation
Just resolved the conflicts, @GBKS . Should be good to go now.
