Just added "a significant change in element styling" to the feedback options. This communicates to the user that they have finished editing, and the value persisting is indicative of success. Great for tight or minimalist spaces where additional elements may feel intrusive!

Is there a reason that editing one item should hide other content or lock me out of other page actions? Sometimes our knee-jerk is to "simplify" by pushing to reduced views, modal or otherwise, but this isn't always beneficial. If editing can be accomplished readily inline, there is no need for additional views. | |
