Update the copy of the Experiments page #18233

Copons · 2019-11-01T11:06:19Z

Description

Update the copy and fix the capitalization of the Experiments page.
Also adds a note to the Full Site Editing experiment, warning that it's still a WIP feature and could potentially break the site.

Testing instructions

Open /wp-admin/admin.php?page=gutenberg-experiments and make sure it looks fine.

Another option would be to mark it as (Unstable), and then clarify below what it actually means. :)

Imho "unstable" doesn't sound dangerous enough 😄

Seems like the warning is now hard to miss. Looks like a good change.

and then clarify below what it actually means.

Perhaps it is worth considering clarifying below what "break the site" means, but I think the warning gets the main point across.

Il approve for what it's worth. It definitely seems like a good fix to make that warning a bit more apparent while FSE is being developed. It does look like we still have reviews requested from others though.

I see the need for an additional warning, but the current text does seem extreme. I agree that it might be worth elaborating some more on what happens (e.g. 'Warning: this will replace your theme and cause potentially irreversible changes to your site. Please consider using this only in a development environment.')

This has been happening rather frequently on WordPress.com, which threw off track our customer support people that weren't aware of the Full Site Editing experiment.

Maybe WordPress.com needs some more control over whether the experiments are visible or be able to override specific experiments to be disabled using a filter or something similar.

Copons · 2019-12-03T09:51:04Z

@talldan Yup, the copy here was intended as a placeholder to get the discussion going.
I promised to involve some copy review once we decided this was the way to go.
I'll update this with your suggestion and then add the Needs Copy Review label. 👍

Maybe WordPress.com needs some more control over whether the experiments are visible or be able to override specific experiments to be disabled using a filter or something similar.

There are some specific cases in which we might want to leave the experiments available to users.
Normally they are not as disruptive, but the FSE one completely replaces the front end with the (in progress) FSE templates, without any clear indications of what happened.

I like @talldan's wording, and have minor suggestions for that whole area -- some capitalization fixes, some rephrasing.

Experimental settings

The block editor includes experimental features that are useable while they're in development. Select the ones you'd like to enable. These features are likely to change, so avoid using them in production.

Enable Widgets screen and Legacy Widgets block

Enable Navigation Menu block

Enable block directory search

Enable Full Site Editing (Note: Warning: this will replace your theme and cause potentially irreversible changes to your site. We recommend using this only in a development environment.)

Copons · 2019-12-13T14:44:08Z

@michelleweber Thanks for the suggestions!
Though it seems you've based them upon the old screenshots I provided in the PR description.

Currently, the Experiment page is like this:

It's not completely different, but a couple of experiments changed.

I can incorporate your suggestions in this PR, so I'm just double checking in case you wish to improve the copy of the new experiments too. 🙂

michelleweber · 2019-12-16T09:47:26Z

Ah, gotcha! Yes, there are some small changes, just to capitalization, that we should make in the current copy:

Enable Widgets screen and Legacy Widgets block
Enable block directory search
Enable Full Site Editing (Note: Warning: this will replace your theme and cause potentially irreversible changes to your site. We recommend using this only in a development environment.)
Enable Full Site Editing demo templates
Enable page templates

Thanks @michelleweber! I've updated the strings as per your suggestions and removed the Needs Copy Review label. 🙇

talldan

This looks good, thanks @Copons and @michelleweber!

carlomanf · 2020-05-27T01:58:35Z

Hi, don't know if this is the right place to ask, but can someone clarify what "potentially irreversible changes" these are referring to?

From what I can tell, everything is reverted back when the FSE is turned off?
