This epic contains all tasks related to the idea of addressing the pain point of user focus pursued by the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Editing_team | Editing team ]]. The pain point was identified through usability testing and an heuristic analysis. See [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual-based_mobile_editing | here ]] for a brief summary and community discussion of this idea.
In this epic,task is about providing contributors a more focused section editing experience through isolating content within the section and removing any unrelated copy.
==User story==
**When **I find part of an article that I want to edit and click the section editing button ...
**I want to **click the section editing button and see that editable content secluded from the rest of the article
**so that I can** focus my attention on the content I want to edit.
==General requirements==
**Platform:** This feature will eventually need to exist for both desktop and mobile. we will only be doing .
**Problem**
When a user clicks on the section editing icon, the page takes time to reload and then, they lose their **focus **and can’t find where they were editing.
**Potential solution**Desktop should be built and deployed first.
**Languages: **Editing team's target wikis
**Target users:** Experienced and new editors who are using Visual Editor via the mobile web
**Eventlogging: ??**
**A/B testing: **This feature should be A/B testable. We might want to test these sorts of things:
//Wayfinding: Isolate section editing// - Has this iteration improved the experience?
- Is it easier to find what you intended to edit this way?
- Are you more likely to complete your edit with this fix?
When people click on a section edit button, they're declaring their intention to focus on that section, and we should give them that experience. To do this, we can provide the user a new screen view that only displays that one particular section to edit to reduce stimulation - Proposed feature design + requirements

**Notes on the design:**
- These pain points were identified through usability testing and via a heuristic analysis. View full report here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor_on_mobile
- When people click on a section edit button, they're declaring their intention to focus on that section, and we should give them that experience. these are routes we decided not to go for nowTo do this, but might in the future:we can provide the user a new screen view that only displays that one particular section to edit to reduce stimulation
*- In terms of addressing the pain point of focus, these are routes we decided not to go for now, but might in the future:
-- create an orienting ui animation
*-- refine the table of contents
*-- tweak the toolbar
*-- remove the need for refocusing completely, by creating a way to do sentence-level editing
