Making it easier to transition to Gutenberg

[paaljoachim]

I noticed when activating Gutenberg then going to the frontend and clicking edit post/page that Gutenberg becomes the default editor. I thought the frontend would add a link to where one could choose to edit the post/page with the Classic editor or Gutenberg. (Similar to the Add New drop down button next to post/pages.)

While in the Gutenberg edit screen I see now way to switch over to the Classic Editor. I expected to click the top right 3 dots, and in the drop down and have the option to switch over to using the Classic Editor.

1. Click on Posts or Page. All posts or pages will be displayed.
2. When hovering the mouse over any post or page, there's an option displayed for "Edit" and "Classic Editor".

"Edit" opens in Gutenberg; "Classic Editor" opens in the Classic Editor.

You can convert a page/post from Classic to Gutenberg.
You cannot convert a page/post from Gutenberg to Classic.

Not a bug - that's by design.

Three different areas:

Frontend:

Current:

Can be: Notice the classic editor edit option.

All Posts/All Pages:

Inside a post or page:

Current:

Can be: Notice the Classic Editor option inside the drop down.

Inside the TinyMCE content editor: Notice the Gutenberg tab.

Notice the Gutenberg tab wording is now changed to the word Edit.

The above creates a better integration of the Classic Editor and Gutenberg. Making it a lot easier and softer to transition to Gutenberg. Gutenberg really needs a long transition. For there will very likely be a lot of sites out there that have used TinyMCE in custom ways.

Flagging as Needs Design Feedback to see if this is something we want to incorporate.

For now let's not do this, we won't be shipping with 2 editors when 5.0 happens. In that light lets close this.
