Problem

It's hard to navigate the user guide if you don't know what we call things. Folks should start on the quick start so that they will learn what it's called, but a) we don't indicate that quickstart teaches that indormation, b) a lot of folks don't and we should account for that. attn: @melissawm and @esibinga

Suggested improvement

I was thinking like pull out and streamline the parts of figure part of the quickstart guide and make it a big card. Something like:

Screenshot: Sample layout

If folks like this direction, it can definitely be cleaned up to something pretty and probably slim down the anatomy figure to just the basics. Maybe take the longer descriptions from anatomy and work them into their corresponding intros.

And probably streamlined to just the contents of the userguide index if #26156 gets resolved.
