Please make accepting revision marks easier!

Post by menkalos »

When stepping through edits, there is no way to easily go through them all. You have to first select a revision from the Review pane to highlight it. Then you can review it. Then you have to click the Accept or Reject button which is in a different place based on how many lines the change takes up in the review pane. So there is way too much mouse movement required. Please implement an "Accept and highlight next" and "Reject and highlight next". Also, move the buttons to the TOP of the box instead of the bottom so that they are always in the same place and we can go through by simply clicking "Accept and move to next" without having to move the mouse back and forth, taking our eyes away from the text we're trying to review. THanks!!!

I'd second that.
Last week I had an active review session with a non-developer author. She complained about the required mouse move and eagerly wanted the equivalent of MS Word's "Accept and Move to Next" button.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback!
We already implemented the selection of the next review after a reject/accept action in the Review pane of the oXygen standalone version. This will be available starting with version 17.1, that will be released in a couple of days. We will also implement this improvement on Eclipse plugin in a future version.

We will also consider moving the actions to the top of the review box. We will let you know when this will be implemented.

Best Regards,
Mihaela
