Not to immediately complain about the new interaction editor design but it’s been a struggle so far. Please provide an alternate Advanced Interaction editor UI similar to the one we’re familiar with.
Progressive Disclosure of options is annoying:
The old interaction editor showed a lot of options at once in a secondary window but for advanced users this was very helpful. To me it’s what distinguished Axure as the best prototyping tool for robust and complicated interactions. The new sidebar approach buries all but the most basic of options deep within within the UI. The number of clicks (and navigational guesses) needed to setup a complex multiple case scenario or turn on frequently used shorthands like open as flyout or popup or push/pull widgets feels like a lot of work compared to the old UI. I worry I’ll be continuously clicking “More options” links to hunt for options that were once easily accessible.
Poor content hierarchy
The old interaction panel and editor used a simple indented text UI to show the hierarchy of interactions and cases. In the new sidebar my eyes have a difficult time distinguishing between a list of cases/interactions of any length. This also makes it more difficult to Copy/paste a group of interactions from widget to widget, something our team does frequently while prototyping.
The new sidebar may make basic interactions more accessible to new users, but please also support advanced users with the ability to access the old editor.
