Overall I like these changes. A couple of suggestions:
No one in my community understands “Save and Continue” versus “Save and View”. Dropping
the “and Continue” is a great step, but I would go farther and give “Save and View” the
emphasis color (blue, in this case). That is the more highly understood behavior. “Save”
(and continue editing) is useful but not as generally useful as “Save and View”.
Especially if you are dropping Preview.
FWIW, I use Preview more often from WYSIWYG mode since there is not a 1:1 translation of
editor view to page view. Whereas, when I am editing source, I can predict how it will
look most of the time. :)
I would also move the Cancel button over next to the other buttons. If I had to rate which
buttons I use the most frequently, “Cancel” would be at the top, followed by “Save and
View,” followed very very distantly by “Save and Continue."
Nice work!

Hi,
We had some users complaining that the first time they edit a page they
don't know how to save it. Depending on the screen resolution, the save
buttons since they are at the bottom of the page are not visible and some
users don't know they need to scroll in order to see them.
We want to make some changes to XWiki, that:
- Display the save buttons in a fixed bottom bar, when they are out of the
viewport, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/bottomB…
- When the user scroll, the buttons go into their position, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/after.p…
- We compacted the bottom functionalities (summary, minor, auto-save), see
before:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/before.…
after:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaVisibleSave/smallVi…
What do you think about this proposal? Would it improve the visibility of
the buttons? Do you have other ideas? Is it something we should implement?
Thanks,
Caty
