Re: [xwiki-devs] [UX] Edit Buttons Order - xwiki-devs@xwiki.org

For my opinion the "Preview" button is necessary because the final structure of
the page is different then the edition one. Because of panels, colors etc, you can want to
check the global look and integration of your page
And also all buttons should be in one group. It's all actions that you can iniate from
the editor. Subgroups don't sound necessary for me.

 Hi,

 Because we want to make a standard from vertical-aligned 
 form, this means
 the buttons should be left-ordered with the most important 
 action first.
 This should be changed also in Toucan and Albatross skin, not 
 only just in
 Colibri.

 Right now the Edit Actions are "Cancel", "Preview",
"Save&Continue",
 "Save&View".

 What do you think is the right order for them when they are 
 left-aligned?

 (A) Save&View, Save&Continue, Preview, Cancel (as it is - 
 just in reverse)

 (B) Save&View, Preview, Save&Continue, Cancel

 (C) Preview, Save&Continue, Save&View, Cancel

 (D) other variation

 Remarks:

 - "Cancel" should be *last* because it's a terminal (takes 
 you out of the
 editor), no-saving action. This is the least important.

 - "Save & View" is also a terminal action (takes you out of 
 the editor) -
 having it* first* you have the 2 terminal actions at extremities.
 - "Preview" is the least damaging action in case of accidental submit
 (Silvia + Marta) - should be *first*?

 - Some people use ("Preview" + "Save&Continue") {many times} 
 + "Save&View"
 {final}
 - Other people just use "Save&Continue" + "Save & View"
{final}, never
 "Preview", etc

 - What is the necessity for the "Preview" button in a WYSIYWG 
 editor? On the
 other hand "Preview" is very important if you edit in "Wiki" mode.

 - Should "Preview" separate the two other SAVING actions? (Marta)
 - Should "Save&Continue" separate the two other VIEW actions?

 Thanks,
 Caty
