This wireframe is based on the v9 prototype.

  • Summary: Saving of the Decapod project is done automatically after every user action since majority of actions will be significant. Even though saves are done automatically, for user's comfort, a clickable Save function is available.

Interaction:

  1. Save is selected by user.
  2. System saves any changes.
  3. Once saving complete
    • a status message appears on screen: "Save successful."
    • Below the menu bar, short text will tell the user when the document was last saved.
      • If less than 10 minutes, the text will say: "Saved X minutes ago"
      • If greater or equal to 10 minutes, the text will state the time of the last save: "Saved hh:mm".

Saves can be frequent, therefore saving actions should not cause a page refresh.

  • Summary: Activating the Edit link will reveal a menu for Undo, Redo, and Edit Metadata.

Interaction:

  1. Edit link is activated.
    • Note: The Edit link and the downward arrow do the same thing.
  2. A menu appears just below the "Edit" link text displaying the Edit options: Undo, Redo, and Edit Metadata.

Interaction:

  • Undo and Redo will be greyed out / disabled if there are no actions to perform.
  • Undo and Redo history should be saved for the entire document session.
  • Closing the document will clear the history.
  • Saving the document should not clear the history.

  • (warning) Exact options to be designed.

  • Summary: Exports the book project into either PDF or multi-page TIFF.
  1. Selecting Export will reveal a menu just below the "Export" menu text.
  2. User can select either "Export to PDF" or "Export to TIFF".
  • Summary: Returns the user back to the Dashboard.
