Hi, This is my running list of things I bump into:

Media Manager
opens in explore mode, no I didn’t ask to see your collection of stock photos > show me my files! … 1 extra click.

Positioning
You set an item to top-left, then ya move or nudge it and it picks a new constrain. Thank you no, I chose mine on purpose… 1-3 extra clicks.

Placing an Image
quick add image > change image > select :see_no_evil: why is it cropped > settings > reset … 2 extra clicks.

Back ground image
No way of changing behavior besides the focal point
Oh, and it does not work on sections

Code Panel
Code panel overlays the preview, so when I want to select something below I got to minimize or move it.
Dark mode only affects the code panel??

Side Panel
Side panel sometimes overlaps sometimes not.

Pages panel
Sorts pages by creation date??
Block names with a big box with initial??
No folders

Find & Replace page/site
need to find replace text
need to find replace code
need to find replace images
…lot’s of work to replace an image on multiple of pages

Concurrent Editing
Great to have this on the editor
Not work for code??!
My devs have to time manage…

Single Page/Partial Publish
How do you publish one page whilst other pages are still in draft? Or how do you avoid publishing a page whilst other people have something in draft accidentally.
Can we mark pages in draft or publish single pages?

Color Theme
The current solution is kinda cute for noobs, yet for a design system it’s useless
Need to define colors with name: primaryColor=#000000
Ability to change that color item later affects all
Show those in the color selector
Oh ya, and add gradients too

Object styles
It gets very tedious when an object
(button, box, text beyond the theme, etc) needs to be updated x times
Need more options to have site-wide style on objects!

Bullet Points
No way of styling ul/li lists.
Tedious workarounds needed

External Anchor links
domain.com/#anchor does not work, seriously?

Text Style
Limited options. Need:
Transform: uppercase
Gradient text fill
Image text fill

Site Typography Styles
Missing looooots of style options!
line-height, case, indent, decoration, alignment, gradients,
and no way to create more or custom style for lists, etc

Thanks, Editor X team, for listening :raised_hands:t2:

Page Panel UI FIX

Page Panel UI

Quick fix to create usable UI
install Stylebot and add:

div._92YVD {display: none;}
div.MD8GT {height: 30px;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px;}

Styled Button Bug
Can’t use gradient and corner at the same time
…adding radius removes the gradient

Currently expected behavior as having one resets the other but will bring this up.

Thanks for bringing these up and posting in the same thread.

@Rob
So how do you then do a round Button with a gradient?

I get the similar behavior as you initially mentioned. Was this button grabbed from Editor X?

Any insight @omerya ?

External Anchor link Workaround

add anchor “anchor1” to section
now this works with a smooth scroll down

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

if(wixLocation.url.includes('#anchor1'))
        $w('#anchor1').scrollTo()

Took a second but got it to work. :slight_smile:
