My review of the new work flow " event opening in viewing mode instead of editing"

[MaudeFJ]

I preferd when it opend in editing mode because I still always need to do some modification so it's one more clic

Thanks for the review @MaudeFJ, it is true that there is an extra click to enter an event. Duly noted - I will share your feedback.

Note that we made this change to provide Admins with the ability to preview the contents of an event in readonly - it's a quick view to see whether the event data/content meets the needs of the frontend display. You could already do this in the other workspaces (places, people,orgs), but there was no way for Admins to do this in Events. Now Admins are able to see at a glance whether all fields are completed.

A followup enhancement for this feature will be separating language content in the read-only pages (the display breaks out content per language). This future enhancement will be particularly useful for previewing listings that offer event pages in multiple languages.

Hope this provides some context for you.

I personally feel it's easier to see in edit mode, because in read only we only see the fields that are completed and in edit we see the fields that are missing.

@MaudeFJ we changed the read only display so that mandatory fields are always displayed, even if they are missing. For example: https://cms.footlight.io/dashboard/63457978637093005071a053/events/66da98be345131006449a4ee

In this way, you can check the read-only view to make sure all mandatory fields are filled and the event meets your minimum requirements.

Hello, That's nice if i can suggest a desing ux thing, if the edit button could follow or be at the end too, because lets say in this case the billeterie is missing so I when all the way down and need to go all the way up again to click on edit and then all the way down to actually edit. so having the bouton closer would make it a bit faster!
Thanks

Thanks Maude, I will discuss in our Design meetings.
