The document discusses usability issues found during testing at the University of Minnesota in 2015 and how Drupal 8 aims to improve the user experience by integrating content and view modules. Specifically, it notes that users found the inability to preview changes frustrating and that operations were structured in reverse order from how users conceptualize the process. Drupal 8 seeks to address these issues by allowing users to edit configurations in-place and see changes immediately.

1. Inside out
understand everything before you can build anything

2. To publish something, the user has to create a content type, add fields,
create some content, configure a view mode, build a view, and possibly
make the view the front page.
To add a block to a page, the user has to click Structure > Blocks > Add
block; access the block management page; set the initial settings, the
regional settings and the visibility settings...

5. UMN Usability Testing 2015 issues
• The inability to see the work in a realtime preview was frustrating.
• Operations are in the reverse order from the way users conceptualize
it. (structuring taxonomy/content/etc.)
• Default frontpage settings and promoted content leads to users to
feel like “whoops! I broke the homepage”

6. Now that both CCK and
Views are in Drupal 8
core…
we can finally start to integrate them for a better UX

7. You can click anything on the page, edit its configuration in-place, and
watch it take effect immediately
