Via @Michael:

From a technical perspective: That CTA sits in the "bottom dock"(#p-dock-bottom), a portlet at the bottom of the viewport for such floating buttons. Especially on mobile this is not ideal vis-a-vis Edit-Checks (and also the Revise Tone card). With Add-a-Link and Add-an-Image we built a custom interface and that included a place to add this CTA above it. Maybe it would make sense for VE to define its own equivalent dock above the edit check cards, and then we could show the CTA there instead?

If placing the help button above the check bottom sheet is not feasible, an alternative could be to keep the help button behind the bottom sheet while it is open. At that moment, the user is focused on resolving the check and interacting with pagination, rather than accessing the help panel.

There is existing code to transition away the CTA when a context item is shown (e.g. link context) the same should be applied to edit check cards. We can make this generic by applying it to anything that changes the bottom padding of the surface.

Hi, I noticed that the task's "Requirements" section includes the phrase "See technical context @Michael shared in TICKET." Which ticket is this referring to? Thanks!

As the functional part of this is in GrowthExperiments, we should probably leave it to them to QA.

Checked on testwiki wmf.22 - the following requirement is done:

Ensure the Help panel (?) appears above Edit Check/Suggestion cards.

@Esanders - I noticed that the navigation button (↓ and ↑) to navigate the Edit Checks are not present anymore. Were they removed? I checked beta, testwiki wmf. 22, and enwiki wmf.21` (both desktop and mobile). The navigation buttons are not present with the Help panel disabled.

@Etonkovidova at the moment, navigation buttons should just appear to navigate Edit Checks in the Pre-save moment.
