This wireframe is based on the v9 prototype.
Overview
Save
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:
Save is selected by user.
System saves any changes.
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.
Edit
Summary: Activating the Edit link will reveal a menu for Undo, Redo, and Edit Metadata.
Interaction:
Edit link is activated.
Note: The Edit link and the downward arrow do the same thing.
A menu appears just below the "Edit" link text displaying the Edit options: Undo, Redo, and Edit Metadata.
Edit - Undo / Redo
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.

Saving the document should not clear the history.
