Description
Overview of what's planned for the Create:Editor group in 14.2
Planning issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/create-stage/-/issues/12876
A
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
eric
schurter
and
I'm
the
product
manager
for
the
editor
group,
which
is
part
of
the
create
stage
with
the
devops
lifecycle
here
at
gitlab,
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
you
a
few
of
the
features
that
we're
working
on
for
the
14.2
milestone
I'll
link,
this
planning
issue
in
the
description
for
the
video.
So
you
can
see
all
the
work
we
have
planned
for
14.2,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
a
few
things
in
particular
for
you
today.
A
First
just
a
quick
overview
of
what
we
shipped
in
14.1
and
in
14.0.
We
introduced
the
content
editor
into
the
wiki
edit
view.
So
when
you're
editing,
markdown
content,
it's
a
new
wysiwyg
rich
text,
markdown
editing
experience
in
14.1.
We
extended
that
beyond
basic
text,
formatting
to
include
things
like
strikethrough,
inserting
horizontal
rules
as
well
as
adding
tables
and
editing
tables
and
inserting
and
uploading
images
into
the
content.
So
we're
going
to
continue
our
momentum
here
in
the
wiki
by
adding
the
ability
to
attach
pdf,
zips
and
other
binary
files
to
your
wiki
page.
A
It's
already
something
you
can
do
with
the
classic
editor
and
the
current
form,
and
so
we
just
want
to
extend
the
content
editor
to
support
that
workflow,
it's
a
very
common
one
and
and
one
we
should
be
able
to
build
on
top
of
the
workflow
we
have
for
inserting
images
already.
A
Also
in
the
content
editor,
we
want
to
bring
formatting
of
text
a
little
bit
closer
to
your
cursor,
so
sometimes
on
a
longer
page
you
might
scroll
and
the
toolbar
is
hidden
and
even
if
not
you're
kind
of
moving
your
cursor
up
and
down
a
little
bit
more
than
we
would
like.
So
formatting
text
can
be
done
with
keyboard
shortcuts,
but
we
don't
necessarily
want
to
rely
on
those,
so
in
14.2
we're
going
to
display
a
small
menu
above
selected
text
that
has
common
formatting
options
for
that
text.
A
This
is
a
our
first
iteration,
our
mvc,
towards
more
contextual
ui,
making
its
way
into
other
content
types
too,
like
tables
and
images
and
and
other
rich
embeds,
so
keep
an
eye
out
for
additional
contextual
ui.
As
as
the
milestones
progress
and
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
in
the
content
editor
and
in
the
wiki
would
be
to
introduce
the
ability
to
embed
snippets.
So
one
of
the
common
use
cases
in
the
wiki
is
documenting
code.
You
might
have
a
code
block
that
you
insert
using
markdown.
A
You
know
syntax
and
it'd
be
great
if
you
could
reuse
that
content
across
multiple
pages
by
creating
a
snippet
embedding
that
snippet
in
a
wiki
page
and
then
having
it
continually
update
and
stay
stay
relevant
and
only
have
to
edit
in
a
single
place.
That's
what
our
mvc
is
aimed
at
solving
and
we
would
be
looking
right
now
at
a
workflow
where
you
provide
a
snippet,
url
or
a
snippet
id,
and
then
it
embeds
it
in
the
wiki
page
and
when
the
wiki
page
is
rendered,
you
get
the
the
live.
A
You
know
code
rendered
view,
so
we're
working
on
that
mvc
in
14
2
as
well,
and
looking
forward
to
bridging
the
gap
between
snippets
and
wiki
now
shifting
gear
to
away
from
wiki,
but
still
talking
about
markdown
when
you're
editing
markdown
in
the
repository
viewer
and
the
web.
Ide
right
now
there's
a
a
preview
tab,
so
you
can
click
over
and
see
a
rich
preview
of
your
markdown.
A
It's
not
editable
like
in
the
content
editor
on
the
wiki,
but
it
is
really
helpful
for
validating
your
your
syntax
and
and
getting
a
sense
of
how
your
page
is
going
to
be
formatted.
A
I
mentioned
this
on
the
14.1
kickoff
that
we
were
working
on
this
it
slipped
into
14
2,
but
we'll
be
delivering
it
alongside
some
behind
the
scenes,
improvements
to
the
source
editor,
which
is
the
code
editing
component,
underneath
many
of
our
categories
and
here,
as
you
can
see,
you'll
be
able
to
to
have
your
source
on
one
side
and
a
live
preview
of
the
rendered
markdown
in
a
panel
to
the
right
now.
A
This
won't
be
editable
in
this
release,
but
it
will
give
you
a
live
preview
as
you
type
and
render
the
markdown
for
you
so
very
excited
about
that.
I
think
for
those
that
are
working
outside
of
the
wiki
and
for
those
that
prefer
writing
markdown,
but
seeing
the
preview.
This
is
going
to
be
a
great
improvement.
A
As
I
mentioned,
there's
other
stuff.
We
have
planned
some
back-end
work,
some
performance
improvements,
some
navigation
and
settings
work
on
the
back
end
so
feel
free
to
visit
our
release
board.
Take
a
look
at
those
issues,
provide
feedback
or
ask
questions
in
those
issues
and
we'll
be
happy
to
help.
