Not every change we make at PBworks is a big one. Sometimes, we just want to make incremental improvements.
This week, we release two enhancements that improve the overall polish and experience of the business product.
First, we improved the “Create Page” experience. Previously, clicking the “Create Page” button brought you to a separate web page. Now, clicking “Create Page” brings up a standard dialogue box. We’ve also given you much more control over the page creation process. Previously, if you wanted to create a wiki page in a particular folder, you had to navigate to the folder before initiating the page create. Now, you can select the folder during the creation process. In fact, you can even select the workspace in which the page will reside (though we will default you to the current workspace and folder).
Here’s a look at the new “Create Page”:
Second, we’ve improved User Profiles. Our usability testing showed that many new users had trouble figuring out how to edit their user profile. This wasn’t their fault; all the user profile actions were linked to from a dull block of identical-looking grey buttons. Even if they found the “Edit Profile” button, finding the nearly identical “Save Profile” button was a usability nightmare.
Our improved user profile adds much more visual distinction between the different actions, and makes it very clear how to edit and save your profile.
Here’s the basic view:
And here’s the view after you click “Edit Profile”:
Watch for more such improvements in the months to come!
What’s up, for all time i used tto check weblog posts here in thhe early hours in the daylight,
since i like tto find out more and more.
Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading?
I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if
it’s the blog. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally
educative and amusing, and let mee tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the
head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my
search for something relating to this.
