The case of the Collapsed Field

What do you see here? An empty Description, right?

… but it is not. It is actually collapsed.

There is no clear indication that a field is collapsed or not.
I myself am a experienced Fibery user, but I am afraid to collapse fields and then miss information on a page in collapsed fields, which I may not see at first glance. It already happened a lot.

The case of the Collapsed Header

Collapsed headers in rich text fields have a visual indication (the little arrow) but in my experience that is not enough, since I often wonder why text disappeared and then I have to realize there are tiny little arrows in frot of headers that have rotated in a tiny little way, hardly recognizable. In practice, I am afraid to collapse a header for that reason.

A valid feedback indeed! We will consider it when making improvements to Fields on Entity Views, thank you!

I see that now the arrow stays visible, even when hovering outside of the closed field. That is good. Thank you.

However, I hear from co-workers that such small arrow is often overlooked, as if the field was either not present or a header of the next field.

Suggestions:

It may help to have a closed field arrow more emphasized, for example by:

  • giving it a more outspoken color (e.g. blue, not grey or black) such that the closed state is more apparent:

blue

  • and/or making the whole field have a grey / colored background when hovering over the collapsed field:

blue background

we will not go this way.
