Feature Request: Edit Menu options
Permalink
Love the new interface in v5.5.1... lots of nice improvements that, once adjusted to, really seem to make the whole authoring/editing process more streamlined.
One feature that I think would be helpful (at least for MY clients) would be to modify the button set on the "Edit" panel when you're done editing a page. It would be nice if there was an explicit "Save as Draft" option with a separate "Preview my Edits" button. "Save as Draft" would save the changes without publishing/approving them. "Preview my Edits" should pop an overlay window showing you how your new page will appear (just like it does in the new Composer window).
I know that my customers tend to get hung up on the fact that they have to click "Preview my Edits" to save their changes and see the page as it would appear. It's just not intuitive for them... especially when all they want to do is "Save" their changes... clicking "Preview" seems stupid to them (sort of like how Windows used to make you click the "Start" button in order to get to "Shut Down", LOL!).
Anyway... my $0.02.
