Good question! The same thing happens every time, but it's a somewhat infrequent operation, and obviously one that the user initiates. So I think if I go down the animation route, as long as it is a quick animation that doesn't interfere much I'd be Ok. I honestly prefer just changing the text on the destination tab where the number of unseen snapshots is indicated like so: Normal tab text "Data Review" User takes a snapshot, tab text changes to "Data Review (1)" User takes another snapshot, tab text changes to "Data Review (2)" User makes the Data Review tab the current tab, tab text changes back to "Data Review" Or do a similar idea just setting an icon on the tab when there are new unseen snapshots, clearing the icon once the user makes the tab current. But at the moment I'm being out-voted by my boss - so I'm still trying to win this one...
