@FF-11, we appreciate you taking the time to experiment with the prototype and for coming back to share your experience.
Now, a few questions to help me make sure I've understood all of your feedback as you have intended it...
A. Editing an existing link's label has no effect, "...if the link wasn't longer than two characters."
Question: Does the below accurately describe the issue you experienced and what you expected to happen? If not, are you able to describe them?
Actual behavior:
- Tap an existing link whose label is < 3 characters long
- Edit card appears
- Tap "Edit" link label
- ⚠️nothing happens
Expected behavior:
- Tap an existing link (it shouldn't matter how many characters long the label is)
- Edit card appears
- Tap "Edit" link label
- Keyboard appears
- Edit label text
- Tap "Done"
- New label text is shows in the article
B. When does the card appear?
The Edit Card should appear whenever you tap an element within the article that can be "focused." This means elements like links, citations, images, templates, etc.
C. The keyboard, instead of the Edit Card, appears if you tap twice on an existing link
Oh! This is behavior we intended. Although, it sounds like this was surprising and confusing – would I be correct to assume that?
So you are aware of our thinking: we included this "tapping twice" behavior as a shortcut or a way for contributors to be able to edit link labels more quickly. To show the edit card after tapping an existing link twice, tap elsewhere in the article and then tap the link again.
Question: what led you to tap twice on an existing link? What were you trying to do? What did you expect would happen?
D. Last couple things...
- Question: Do you remember what device and browser you were using to test the prototype? I wonder if the configuration might have had an impact on the behavior you experienced.
- Your experience with the visual editor...
- Question: How familiar are you with it on desktop and mobile?
- Question: How frequently do you use the visual editor on desktop and mobile?
By the way, hi 👋 My name is Peter. I work as the product manager on the Editing Team
