The screen texts name the top bar, the rail and the workbench as they are
after the redesign, the travel guide walks through the four tabs, and six
new guides cover what Studio gained since its help was written. Every
Studio picture is taken again, and all texts are translated.
The rail lists its sections in the order a book is made: Pages, Content,
Layouts, Elements and Travel, then Theme and Layers set apart below a rule.
Stickers are a tab of Elements beside the icons instead of a rail section of
their own, and Elements has six tabs (text, shapes, lines, frames with the
grids, icons, stickers). The quotation mark moved to the text styles, the
outline rectangle to the basic shapes and the plain rule to the lines. The rail
and every tab row are tab lists the arrow keys walk through, and a long name
wraps instead of being cut. The icon and sticker searches say in the field how
many match, which the sticker library's own head used to.
Every panel on both sides opens on the same head, and every labelled control
uses one row that moves the control under its label when the two do not fit,
so no label sits in a fixed column any more. Number fields, chips, sliders,
tab labels, theme names and travel cards wrap the same way, a country beside
a stop wraps under itself, and an upload cell holds its words to two lines
with the whole label in its tooltip. The heads, shelves and groups are real
headings, so a screen reader can walk the panels by them.
The inspector shows every kind in one order: what the element is and says,
its position and size, its look, its effects, then Arrange. Align and the
stacking buttons are one Arrange group with a button that opens the page in
Layers; its rows sit under their labels, each in two sets that move to a
second line whole. Rarely used groups start folded and open on an element
that already uses them (a turned element, a map held at a zoom, a summary set
in another face), and every group mounts afresh for the next selection. A
sticker's duplicate angle and opacity are gone in favour of the shared
position group, which now has the turn buttons for every kind. With several
elements selected it keeps their angle, opacity and turn, and the mirror when
all of them are stickers, and leaves the frame's numbers to one element. A
photo's fill page and fill spread sit under its crop. With nothing selected
the inspector shows the page background, the book's theme with the way to the
Theme panel, and the page numbers.
Seventeen translation keys nothing has used since before the rebuild (the old
inspector title, the empty spread note, the summary and country list names,
the roads buttons and others) are gone from every language. The broad key
template the old panels used had counted them as reached; the format names,
the empty photo grid messages and the map source hints are now named where the
key check can read them.
Also fixed on the way: the travel stops list shared its class with the
gradient stops and was laid out as sixteen pixel handles; the alignment
buttons were named in raw English; the map's print resolution note joined its
two halves with a dash.
Every help screen checked against the v5 redesign. Tours is documented for
the first time, as a screen of its own with twelve screens under it, and
notifications get help of their own. All pictures are taken again on a
realistic demo trip, with short loops where a still cannot show the motion.
The English is plain and every language is written naturally rather than
word for word.
The switcher shows two levels at most, a screen's overview lists its
sub-screens as cards above its guides, each wiki page is linked once, and
the help sidebar is wider.
Fixes found along the way: Save to Collection keeps a tour's route, a track
dropped on the places column opens the Tours import, tour Share on desktop,
the unsaved tour draft lives on the account, a route click no longer adds
an end point, Trip places leaves the trip's tours out, Escape closes a
stage's day menu, confirms before destructive deletes, DWD warnings sharing
one id kept apart, a booking's date moves with it, and smaller fixes across
notifications, bookings, the day plan, stays, Atlas, Collections, Vacay and
the admin screens.
Every guide of the four screens is recorded again with the new dialogs.
The guide scripts follow the new markup, and a review of the pictures
fixed what they taught wrong: the Kyoto list holds Kyoto places with
their photos, the invite and share steps show the picked user, the shared
calendar step shows one shared with you, the Dawarich and wishlist steps
frame the whole dialog, and the create journey guide links a trip with
places.
The duplicate-trip guide dropped its copy by position, keeping whatever the
trips endpoint happened to answer first. The copy survived, and three files
later the journey dialog offered two entries starting "Weekend in Lisbon" and
the create-journey guide could not say which one it meant.
The copy is now dropped by name and the delete is checked, and the journey
dialog picks its trip by accessible name rather than by a substring another
trip shares. Each file passed on its own before this; only the whole suite in
one run showed it.
A help icon on every screen opens a panel with the screen's overview, its
sub-screens, task guides with a framed picture per step, search across guides
and the wiki, and a switch to any other screen's help. Guides exist for the
dashboard, Vacay, Atlas, Collections, Journey (list, journal, studio), Settings
(all tabs), Admin (all tabs) and the trip frame; the trip's own screens are
in progress. Pictures are produced by Playwright (client/e2e/help), texts in
all 23 languages.
