Seven changes, all aimed at the same thing: think about the procedure, not
about blocks.
Live preview beside the editor, rendered with the SAME component readers get,
so what an author sees is what will be published - a separate preview
implementation would drift within a month.
Formatting buttons wrap the selection, so nobody needs to know the markup is
Markdown. New blocks and pasted images land AFTER the block being worked on
rather than at the bottom of the document, which removes the scroll-back that
made adding a screenshot mid-guide annoying.
Enter in a list makes the next item and focuses it, the way every other list in
every other tool behaves; backspace on an already-empty item removes it and
steps back up. Typing a ten-item checklist no longer needs the mouse.
Templates, because the blank page is the real barrier to somebody writing a
procedure down at all. The shapes are lifted from the KB articles the team
already writes, so guides written here read like the ones written before them.
Autosave on a three-second debounce with an honest status line, safe precisely
because the server dedups on content - an autosave that changed nothing writes
no version. Leaving with unsaved work now asks first.
CLIPBOARD: the code block no longer writes to the clipboard. A page that
programmatically copies a shell command is the exact shape of a ClickFix attack,
where malware plants a command in your clipboard and talks you into pasting it
into Run - and uBlock Origin blocked ours, correctly, because it was writing
PowerShell on click. The button now SELECTS the code and says to press Ctrl+C:
same convenience, decision back with the person, and nothing for security
tooling to object to.
AUTOCORRECT is on for prose and off for code and table cells. A code block that
autocorrects produces a guide telling somebody to run a command that does not
work - smart quotes replacing a straight one, an autocapitalised cmdlet - and it
still LOOKS right to the author. The person at the bay gets the syntax error.
