Hi Caty,
I like the current P2. What are the drop-down options for Edit?
'Edit' drop-down is for 'Advanced' users and it contains the other edit
modes, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/adva…
For 'Normal' users the 'Edit' is just a button, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/IdeaLabeledActions/simp…
My reasoning for hiding Create is that the Create function is a little
confusing to begin with for new users. If you are used to files and
folders, it is weird that a file is also a folder (that a node can have
child nodes that are also documents). This makes sense to me because I am a
computer science grad, but it isn’t that obvious to long-time Mac/Windows
users. I would almost want it to be called “Create New Child Page” or
something, to better indicate what is going to happen when you click that
button. Except, sometimes, it doesn’t create a new child page, depending on
the template you choose. In any case, there is no obvious solution, P2
looks best of the options provided. :)
That's another story :)
Thanks,
Caty
Thanks,

acceptable to hide the word Edit.
I have to disagree here. The purpose is to promote and highlight both
important actions and that is both 'Edit' and 'Create'. The
'plus' sign be also confusing for new users. Highlighting
just 'Edit' would be hard
to
justify.

The triple-dot icon needs to be a button. P2 has it as a free-floating
icon, P4 has it as a button: it needs to be a button as per P4.
Yes, a better screenshot for P2 is
