Discard changes
Problem:
Between the edit and the publish flow there is a feeling of getting stuck, It seems I am forced to publish all the time, when in occasions I am working on a draft and I want to save my last edits, but not publish.
When user wants to leave the edit mode there is an option on the 3 dots call "Discard changes".
Red color + "Discard" language triggers a destructive-action mental model when it shouldn't.
Solution:
Change copy on the 3 dots option "Discard changes" to "Exit editing" Ideally this should be a button next to publish, not so hidden.
Remove the red color to the black one (no red, no need to alarm here)
On the modal change the copy:
Title: Exit editing
Text: You have unsaved changes. Would you like to save them before leaving?
Buttons: Save changes (primary) - Leave without saving (secondary)
Versions alerts friction
Problem:
When returning to a document, users are frequently caught in a versioning bug that disrupts the experience. The expected behaviour is straightforward: always show the latest version of the document, but surface a non-intrusive notification when changes were made by someone else — giving the user awareness without blocking their flow.
Solution:
Bring the user always to the latest status and add some notification when necessary (similar of what Figma does) when user needs information about versions change. See idea here (to be discuss):
Image selected status
Problem:
There is not a clear selected status for images - just a soft grey line is added.
Solution: add a 4px green (with 30% opacity) line around selected images.
Delete option
Problem: We use to add delete on options list as the first option or in between which is not a UX pattern.
Solution: Move delete options always as the last option on a list. Use also always the same icon.
