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 :-) -- <http://xwiki.com> * Olivier Sérès* * VP Business Development* [email protected] skype: olivierseres Linkedin <https://fr.linkedin.com/in/olivierseres> Mobile : +33 6 61 31 2001 On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 1:39 PM, Craig Wright <[email protected]> wrote:
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 before: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ IdeaVisibleSave/before.png after: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ 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
