==== Background
In our analysis of the "add a link" funnel, we saw that in a user's first session through "add a link", only 28% of desktop users and 11% of mobile users choose to do another task from the "post-edit dialog". The most common action was to close the dialog by clicking or tapping outside of it (or clicking the "X" on desktop).
We think that many users may be closing the dialog because they want to look at the edited article to confirm/admire the changes they made to it. Once they close the dialog, they can't open it back up, and so have lost the opportunity to edit the next article.

==== Hypothesis
If we affirmatively design for that "admiring" behavior by encouraging it, but then still allow users to return to the dialog to choose a next article, they will //both// admire their work //and// edit another article.
==== Proposed designs
**Proposal A. Add button to re-open suggestion**
This idea is likely the least effort, and simply provides the ability for users to re-open the dialog by selecting a floating action button that appears when users dismiss the post-edit dialog initially.
* **Pros**
** Minimal change to the current experience
** Uses existing floating action button for the help/guidance panel
* **Cons**
** FAB obscures part of the article being viewed
** It is technically mixing and matching the floating action button used to toggle visibility of the help panel/inspector, with a way to show a drawer/dialog.
* **Other notes on design**
** There is no way to dismiss the FAB except to refresh the page. This could be seen as a con if from the perspective of it being obtrusive to the reading experience post-editing, though it is intended to make the next optional edit more easily accessible to users.

**Proposal B. Separate success message & next edit**
This proposal firstly decouples the post-edit message from the next task. The second main change is that the next suggestion takes the form of a collapsible drawer akin to the ‘inspector’ component in structured tasks.
* **Pros**
** Removes likelihood of accidentally closing the dialog
** Collapsed version of next edit inspector doesn’t obscure any article content.
** Removing the modal and separating the success is more in consistent with “normal” edits (where only the success message appears as a toast)
** Separating the success message enables more flexibility with other Positive reinforcement experiments related to “celebration” vs specific recommended next actions.
* **Cons**
** Separating the two makes the review my edit aspect less overt as a an action for users
** Physical removal of the “close” button makes it less obvious how one could minimise the view to see the article they have just edited
* **Other notes on design**
** As with proposal A, users will not be able to remove this next edit UI unless they refresh the page.
** The random/reload new suggestion action will be replaced with navigation buttons to flip through solutions as per T302335
