Asset replacement confusion #941

Open stuartcusackie opened 1 year ago

stuartcusackie commented 1 year ago

After a meeting with my client (designers / wordpress users) a couple of things came up regarding asset management:

Removing an asset from a field

My clients would not click the trashcan icon on an asset field. They believed that this would delete the image entirely. This is why they gravitated towards the 'Replace' button. Maybe there's a friendlier icon or a piece of text that could improve this.

The 'Replace' button

My client assumed the 'Replace' button was simply replacing the image in the the current Entry. They did not read or understand the following text "References to this asset within content will be updated to the asset you select below." and I don't think the implications are very obvious. Updating the text to "within ALL content and entries" would be more obvious but I think it needs something more, like warning text or red text.

That's all. Thanks for reading.
