Admin Edit Mode

Edit mode for admin in the profile dropdown

IdeaScale is always striving to make the user experience more comprehensible and adaptable. The latest feature called the Edit Mode for community administrators will now allow them to edit images, texts, descriptions and many other things right from the frontend. They would not be required to go to each specific settings to update.

Where can I find Edit mode?

Edit mode will be available from the Profile dropdown menu on the community landing page, home page and campaign page as shown in the above screenshot.

Who would be able to use Edit mode?

The Community Administrators and the Custom Administrators (depending on the permissions they have). Edit Mode: Landing Page. Simply hitting the Edit mode button would make the editable sections available for editing. Uneditable sections would be greyed out.

Why use Edit Mode?

The inline editing can improve overall user experience by reducing the number of clicks and actions needed to make changes, making editing more intuitive and streamlined. By editing content in its original context, users can ensure that changes are made accurately and properly. This can help to reduce errors and improve the quality of content.

Edit Mode: Landing Page

• Select and switch between Templates right on the page.
• Landing Page versions can now be used more effectively - We added the ability to name each version and add a note explaining the changes that were made. 
• Landing Page versions can be saved for later use or published immediately.
• Landing Page versions would also indicate who made changes and when. This also makes it easier to collaborate on content with various contributors.
• Up to 20 versions of each template can be saved. Older or unused versions can now be deleted.
• Use the new Preview button before publishing the landing page.

The admin will still be able to see the moderators in both sections but standard members will see Campaign/Community Moderators with the list hidden.
