      Description

      Situation: During user testing the Manage Link right panel Remove Link button was found to be unclear. In particular the red button made it seem as though clicking the button would remove the file itself.

      Task: Identify possible improvements to the Manage Link button and implement the best selected choice.

      Possible ideas:
      Add a lock icon along with the text (similar to Apple).
      Change the red text to something less intimidating.
      Change the Manage Link button to a Toggle.

            Logan Weidenhammer - if you have time, please create some mockups with different ideas.

            Thank you Logan Weidenhammer!

            We probably also should change the "note" to make it more clear that a link is not "removed".

            Here is an option for how we can say this:

            Text to show when the file is private:

            Note: If you create a public link, then anyone can use the link to download the file or view it in IGB.

            Text to show when the file is public and has a public link:

            Note: If you make a file private, its link will no longer be active, and no-one can download your file or view it in IGB.

            I understand, I think!

            Probably we will iterate "on off alternative". A good thing to test would be whether a button or a switch UI component works better for users - harder to make a mistake, easy to recover if a mistake is made, requires little thought to use the interface, etc.

            Thank you Logan Weidenhammer - moving to Done !
