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* ose...@xwiki.com 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 <crw+xw...@crw.xyz> wrote: > Overall I like these changes.
