###Task overview
This task includes the work involved with resolving mobile VE's usability issues. "Usability issues" in this context refers to improving the frustrating and clumsy parts of common edit workflows [1] contributors encounter once the article becomes "editable."
###Background
We are committed to increasing the number of edits on mobile, using VE.
Component to increasing the number of edits on mobile using VE, is contributors having success completing the edits they intend to make. **Issue**: the existing mobile VE experience can be feel clumsy and behave in ways contributors do not expect.
This work sits within our broader thinking that contributors will be more likely to complete the edits they set out to, when they can remain **focused** on their task at hand, without needing to spend a lot of effort doing so.
