Inspired by the feedback people have shared here [i][ii][iii][iv], the Reply Tool will soon offer people the ability to customize the edit summaries that accompany comments posted with it.
As part of implementing the custom edit summary functionality, we've created a technical prototype that we would value you experimenting with and sharing the thoughts and questions it brings to mind. More details below.

Sharing feedback
We are curious to whatever comments/thoughts come to mind as you are using the prototype.
Please note: the prototype linked above implements, what we currently understand to be, the core custom edit summary functionality. It intentionally is not opinionated about interface polish/presentation.
