# Disclosure

[Progressive disclosure](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_disclosure) is an interaction design technique often used in human computer interaction to help maintain the focus of a user's attention by reducing clutter, confusion, and cognitive workload. This improves usability by presenting only the minimum data required for the task at hand.
