Adding New Pages
Permalink
I find adding new pages to be a little clumsy, sometimes Composer Opens, sometimes locations are already filled in, sometimes not. Empty pages are the most confusing, you just land on the page and have to go back to the sidebar and find where to fill in required info. It's easy to end up with untitled drafts, I don't think you should ever have untitled pages, drafts or otherwise.
On the empty page, it might be better to be prompted for the page name and location before landing on the page,

If you add a page from the dashboard the target location should be stored for publishing. But I agree, maybe adding the page name through a dialog could help lessen the amount of clicks later on.

I've spent a lot of time with 5.7 now. What makes adding pages confusing with the Elemental Theme is the "Empty Page" Page Type not launching Composer. If all Page Types launch Composer to enter at least the "Basic Info", then it all makes sense and works very well.
If people want to enter body content via Composer they can configure it to do so, or they can just go to the page to do in content ediiting. I really don't understand the push to do everything with Composer though, when in content editing is one of C5's great strengths.

I agree! thought this was a bug. adding page but no title? I've been looking for the option to force a title before creating a page. Please more documentation for 5.7
I hope the next update resolves this otherwise we're going to have a flop like Windows 8. Also... no upgrade path from 5.6? Seriously?
It might be time to revisit WordPress... and that scares the hell out of me.
