Apologies for the photo / eInk device, but it's what I've got...

Editor - First unregistered edit

Is it possible to use the strings as outlined in the ticket above? (eg. Got it, Create account for first view and Discard changes and log in, Got it once change have been made in the editor)
After publishing an edit I saw the edit confirmation but not the temp account created confirmation toast (1st attempt) and on 2nd attempt (ended session and then edited again) I saw the temp account created toast but not the edit published toast.

*The icon changed from no account to temp account while on the edit summary page

Editor - Subsequent edits

Would it be possible to show the 'The page has been modified. Are you sure you want to exit without saving your changes' alert when a user taps on 'log-in' from the temp account / no account dialog?

@Dbrant I've updated the comment above to reflect usage on Test wiki. Thank you!

Sure, but I'm curious why we're insisting that the changes will be discarded? The login workflow will take the user back to editing, with their changes intact. Can we just say "Log in" instead of "Discard changes and log in"?

After publishing an edit I saw the edit confirmation but not the temp account created confirmation toast (1st attempt) and on 2nd attempt (ended session and then edited again) I saw the temp account created toast but not the edit published toast.

Should be correct now. (It looks like there were some minor updates to the designs since I last worked on it.)

*The icon changed from no account to temp account while on the edit summary page

Should be correct now.

Would it be possible to show the 'The page has been modified. Are you sure you want to exit without saving your changes' alert when a user taps on 'log-in' from the temp account / no account dialog?

As mentioned above, going to Log In does not actually "exit" the editing workflow, so do we really need to show such a message?
