Currently, Drupal has a number of ways to edit things. With Outside In, we add yet another.

  • Clicking "Edit" on e.g. a node form, which takes you to the full node form in the admin theme (default)
  • Clicking "Edit" from Contextual Links, which takes you to the full node form in the admin theme (default)
  • Clicking "Quick edit" from Contextual Links, which takes you into in-place editing (content only)
  • Clicking "Configure block" in the contextual links for a block (etc.)
  • (new) Clicking "Edit" in Toolbar to trigger "Edit mode" which then pops open the sidebar for you to click on various places in your page and configure them in-place (configuration only)

We should talk about what patterns make sense to apply to what places/elements on the page. For example, site name might be better with "Quick edit" in-place editing vs. outside-in.

Version: 8.2.x-dev » 8.3.x-dev

Drupal 8.2.6 was released on February 1, 2017 and is the final full bugfix release for the Drupal 8.2.x series. Drupal 8.2.x will not receive any further development aside from critical and security fixes. Sites should prepare to update to 8.3.0 on April 5, 2017. (Drupal 8.3.0-alpha1 is available for testing.)

Bug reports should be targeted against the 8.3.x-dev branch from now on, and new development or disruptive changes should be targeted against the 8.4.x-dev branch. For more information see the Drupal 8 minor version schedule and the Allowed changes during the Drupal 8 release cycle.

Status: Active » Closed (duplicate)

I think this is duplicate of #2782915: Standardize the behavior of links when Outside In editing mode is enabled
which was resolved.
