Based on research observation on users use of our [[ http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/edit-review/recent-changes/index.html | initial prototype ]] for Recent Changes designs (T142785), we identified several areas to improve: filter navigation (T147549), combining filters and highlights (T147351), and using multiple highlights (T147295).
The following improvements are proposed:
From {T147549}:
- Separate tags from the filter entry point to make it easier to access.
- Provide an option to clear all filters to facilitate repetitive use.
- Make the filter invite more explanatory to indicate users can either browse or start typing to get results.
- Make the filter panel less wide to facilitate navigation between filtering and the results as well as anticipating the effect of changes.
From {T147351}:
- Provide a separate highlight mode in the filtering menu to avoid confusion with filtering.
From {T147295}:
- Use color bullet points to signal individual highlight colors.
