Comments
Thibault,
These all look like great improvements, and we are looking forward to seeing them in production. I know this is just a preview and perhaps these things will be changed before they are rolled out, but I have a couple of picky comments on the wording of some of these items shown in this preview.
-- In the prompts next to field types, the prompts you show in your example aren't all properly-formed English. For instance, "Please enter a text here" should be "Please enter text here." "Please enter an URL here" should be "Please enter a URL here."
-- In the new prompts for attaching a file, the choices don't all match. It would be more proper to be consistent and just have the choices "Attach," "Upload and convert" and "Create." Or, "Attach file," "Upload and convert file" and "Create file." Or, "Attach a file," "Upload and convert a file" and "Create a file."
-- Is there any way that the primary action name (e.g., "Approve," "Reject," etc.) could be capitalized on the action validation window?
Minor points, probably, but they just jump out to me when I view the UI.
Thanks,
Amy Gannon
