Copy Patrol visual design tweaks
Closed, ResolvedPublic0.5 Estimated Story Points

Description

  • Move the Turnitin report button under the Compare buttons, because it's a last-resort measure.
  • Change to iThenticate report, to match what people will see.
  • Solid line instead of dotted between items
  • Take parentheses off of (history) link, capitalize as History

Event Timeline

The page name should be the center of attention for the Copy Patrol items, but I think it's a little overshadowed by the blue Turnitin and Compare buttons above it.

I don't completely agree. :)
In all of my testing, I never once clicked the page link. The point of the Compare and Turnitin links is that you never have to open the page link itself. And it doesn't matter if the plagiarism is on the page "Barack Obama" or "Causes of World War I" - people should work on fixing both irrespective of the page title. I think it's good that Compare buttons get the visual attention because they are what make the tool actually useful.

Okay, that's a good point. The comparison is the point, and it's the coolest thing.

What do you think about reducing the prominence of the Turnitin button? I don't think it's nearly as useful or user-friendly, but it's sitting on top of the Compare buttons with essentially the same treatment. Could we make it a link, and put it somewhere else?

It might actually be worth asking Eran/James/Diannaa if we really need it at all.

I agree the Turnitin button is much less useful. I'll change it's text to blue and background to white and you can take a look at it. :) I tested it quickly in browser and it definitely looks more obscure.

How about: Keep the Turnitin button as is, and just move it underneath the Compare links. It's kind of a last-resort option after the Compare panels haven't worked.

Also change the text to iThenticate report, per our meeting. :)
