Suggestions: Clarify what Dismiss/Decline means
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Background

As part of T424677, we observed that users understood the Dismiss action but lacked feedback after using it:

  • Some users expected a confirmation message (os some clarification on that) after dismissing a suggestion
  • Others were uncertain whether dismissing a suggestion would affect only their session or all editors.

Possible solutions

  • Op.1: Consider displaying a Toast with an Undo button the first time a user dismisses a suggestion, explaining that it will only disappear from their current editing session and will remain visible to other editors.
  • Op.2: Use a Tooltip when hover to clarify the button's meaning before the user acts. This solution would work on desktop but not on touchable screens.

Open questions

  • Should the decided solution be applied in both Suggestions and Edit Checks?
