What works right now
- "+ New Image," "+ New Header," "+ New Section Title," and "+ New Text Sections"
- Note: "+ New Image" will insert a pre-determined image into the file. The final version will allow users to upload their own files.
- Dragging items around the page will make text reflow around it.
- Resizing images
- Deleting images and text content boxes
- Bolding and italicizing text
- Editing text content
Tasks for evaluation
Basically play around with putting in text fields and section headers, then adding images (or adding images first) to see how the text flow adjusts and figure out what works well for you. You can also drag sections around in order to easily reorder different sections. Our next implementation will support text actually flowing around just the image, not adjusting the width of the entire text area.
What doesn't work right now
- "Publish," "Save," "Preview" buttons
- "Undo," "Redo," "Cut," "Copy," "Paste" buttons
- "+ More..." button
- "Alignment" changes (in the text-editing toolbar)
- Manually resizing text content boxes
