flash message is not appropriate after work save

[carolyncole]

Descriptive summary

In Sufia 7.0 after you save a work you go to the work show page. You then see a message about refreshing your dashboard.

Expected behavior

Message should say "You may need to refresh this page to see the changes you made" rather than mentioning the dashboard.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Click on new work
2. Fill in Metadata
3. Choose a file
4. Click on accept
5. Click on Save
6. The flash message is shown at the top of the page

Would we accept "you may need to refresh"?

I'm partial to 'You may need to refresh your browser.'

Tagging @projecthydra/sufia-ui-ux-advisors for their input.

The flash messages are good candidates for extraction into a template or translations file, also. Currently duplicated in batch_uploads_controller_behavior.rb and works_controller_behavior.rb.

To avoid someone thinking this means upgrade the browser (although this would of course be over-literal), how about
‘You may need to refresh this page in your browser.’

Or does ‘reload’ come across better than ‘refresh’?

If I mouse over the button in Chrome (Windows & Mac), it says ‘Reload this page’. In Firefox (Windows & Mac), ‘Reload current page’. In IE (Windows)‘Refresh’. In Safari (Mac)‘Reload the current page’.

Looked for expert guidance on the web and didn’t find it.

I'm partial to refresh. It feels like the more common vernacular, but I don't have any proof (other than Googling 'reload browser' and getting a lot of results with 'refresh' in it).

I do agree with @newmanld about specifying page instead of (or in addition to) browser. In my past reference librarian life...it was shocking how many people did not know what a browser is even though they were using one.

My recommendation is: You may need to refresh this page...

Sounds like consensus to me. Thanks, all! 👏
