I'm a little bit worried about the continue.
Continuing can also be to next event in a basic process of editing.
I.e. : see finalized page.
User may think :
"Continue where? To what I'm doing? To what I would do after saving ?
To what I would do after editing?
Ho ok, view maybe to view the page finalized so I guess I continue editing"
Make the user thinking stop the fluent navigation. An egonome even
named a book "don't make me think".
The argument about cancel seems good to me.
Proposals :
[Preview] [Save & go to page] [Save] [Cancel] ---------- (+1)
[Preview] [Save & close editor] [Save] [Cancel]
However there is a lot of +1 about see/continue so if people did not
have to think it the first time they came to page it means it's ok.

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
I am one of those people, but "Preview" is useful also when you are a
beginner.
- 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
