Thanks for the PR. I wanted to connect some dots to #46985 (comment) as I'm not entirely convinced the site hub is the right place for this. What do you think? |
|
Personally I don't like random save buttons (like in the bottom of the sidebar). I understand the reasoning but there's also two ways to look at it, one of them is: The site editor being a single unit to edit your site and save your changes from a unique place when you're done. I'll let you all discuss this and we'll see what to do. |

I'm repurposing this PR to try a new design: I've moved the save button to the bottom of the sidebar. There's still some work to do here though:
For now, this leaves the hub untouched. |

Looks good, here's how it works:
I like to think that we can use the save button in-editor most of the time. I.e. you drill into templates, click an edit button next to a template, go into the full editor, save, and go back. But for the higher level actions like sorting the primary navigation, adding pages, in the future: site title/logo changes, style changes, it makes sense to be able to make a lot of those changes, label them into a bundle, save them, and schedule them for example to go out on a day a big sale is going to happen. For that, we do need a global save button that persists across sections, as it can also there serve as a hub for revisions and scheduling. Can we make it so the entire bottom save hub only appears once a change that requires saving has been made? |
|
I've updated the save button to show a modal. The design of the modal itself is not perfect but I think it's a good start. I can't tweak it too much for now without impacting the save panel within edit mode, so we need to be a bit careful there. |
|
I've updated the PR, the save hub is only available when there are changes to be saved. |

Is this good enough for a v1 of the save button in the site editor? What needs to be improved? |
|
Looks good. I don't know if it has to be a modal or not, the sidebar could also temporarily work as we refine soe of the other bits. |

I think this broke the panel in post editor. |

@ntsekouras I'll take a look. I made sure to test it but for some reason it didn't break for me. |

I see the broken panel as well. Screenshot

If we have to have the panel in the design section, that's okay, it doesn't have to become modal quite yet. |

Related #36667 closes #46985
What and why?
This PR tries to add a global save button to the site editor. Check #46985 for the reasoning. The TLDR is that we're able to make edits to the templates and navigation... from within the edit mode but also outside it, meaning there's a need to save changes globally.
How?
Testing Instructions
1- Open the site editor
2- Enter edit mode and make changes to any part of the site
3- Leave the edit mode without saving
4- You should be able to save using the "save" button inside the site editor sidebar.
