+1 (C) 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?
