Simulation: Make it easier in the interface, don't require edit unlocks #226
Comments
To make this more complex: Once you've changed a state in the simulation, you are asked to dismiss it. At this time you've left the editing context already, clicking 'dismiss' puts you back onto the locked view. I would expect to stay in the simulation mode here (which is hidden in the edit unlock context). |
True, hiding this behind a permission is rather sub-optimal. |
Tbh, I feel like the UX is pretty far from optimal here anyway, like:
I totally agree with you and love your suggestion here, but I feel like we should generally rework the user interaction in the module rather than performing surgery on each individual part. |
Agreed. I had created this issue while working on a blog post for new BP features. I don't regularly use the module, so my "dumb user" card is played here. I'm fine with reworking the whole UX. |
Expected Behavior
I want to simulate a BP as easy as possible.
Current Behavior
Since there is no documentation about it, I was looking into every option available. After a while I figured out that I needed to actually edit the BP in order to get the simulation.
Possible Solution
Imho editing a BP is a different context than just simulating it. This also is true for the permission model, one that wants to simulate simple things doesn't necessarily need full admin rights to modify and edit the BP configuration.
The interface should be made more clear, "unlock editing" should clearly indicate that this is about changing the configuration, and the simulation is either found in there, or made a separate context.
My workflow for BPs defines as:
Context
Writing a blog post and starting to work with the interface again. Playing the unexperienced user role here.
