I'm +1 with what Craig and Mahomed said ie :
- Save & View to be highlighted in blue
- Preview to be useful
In order to incitate users to write add a summary of the modification, I
think it would help to place the box it in the first position (like
Confluence did) with a strong hint like : "What did you modify?"
In my craziest dreams, I also saw a : "PDF preview" there so that I don't
feel obliged to go to the Kebab "More actions" menu and search for it :-)

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/bottomBar.png
- When the user scroll, the buttons go into their
position, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/
IdeaVisibleSave/after.png
- We compacted the bottom functionalities
(summary, minor, auto-save),
see
IdeaVisibleSave/before.png
IdeaVisibleSave/smallViewPort.png
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
