[This Google doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RALXguNg6VHLAfdQl_CWDxx-VkL_y5v0_ljVbvHSVaw/edit#) has a proposed user experience. Please comment directly inline in the doc if you have feedback. I'm particularly eager to hear ideas for simplifying things for enumerators.

I have also shared that doc and a summary in a features thread at [Let users know of required storage location change and let them opt-in before August 2020](https://forum.getodk.org/t/let-users-know-of-required-storage-location-change-and-let-them-opt-in-before-august-2020/24444) in the hopes of getting feedback from folks who don't watch the development category.

Yes, that's correct. 🙏
