Reports are now edited in place, as they look: drag blocks around, insert anything with /, save by hand and go back to any earlier version.
Editing happens on the report page itself. The bar holds undo and redo, Insert, sharing, history and Save.
The prompt
Okay let’s work on the editor and the editor page, make sure it’s smooth, intuitive and all interactions are proper
The first result was a Markdown text box next to a live preview. That was turned down:
but we dont want this, we want a proper editor, not md and seperate views
A later round asked for the editing page, saving and undo to be reworked:
great, now why is it a different page, the edit buttons and adding things and everything just dont look good, we want to smooth out the UX more and making it better, better positining of things and things like that, lets improve the UX, make sure u also focus, lets polish it up more, edits shouldnt be auto saved also, manual save with version history as well and proper warnings, i need to click save to save, make sure we have proper undo redo, and everything.
What it does now
Clicking Edit on a report keeps you on the same page: the column, header and title stay where they were, and the report becomes editable. There is no Markdown pane and no separate preview.
- Insert anything. Type
/on a line, use the+beside a block, or the Insert button: text, headings, lists, quotes, code, the exact prompt, tables, callouts, collapsed details, images, before/after pairs, galleries and image placeholders. - Move anything. Every block has a grip in the margin. Drag it to move the block; click it to turn the block into something else, duplicate it, move it or delete it. Images can become a before/after or a gallery, and images can be dragged in and out of them.
- Images where you drop them. Paste or drop files anywhere. Several at once become a gallery; a file dropped on a placeholder fills it. Captions are edited under the image.
