This was signalled through two methods. Firstly, users prioritised a tour or explanation as an important feature.

When I purchased a new XO-1 in 2007 and a new XO-4 this year, it came with a little printed leaflet with some basics; and I think there is an assumption that the UI is discoverable by kids if they have unrestricted free time to play and explore it. However I haven't seen any UX-study-style testing of this assumption. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://turtle.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">https://turtle.sugarlabs.org</a> has a welcome tour.
