Horrendous User Experience – no permalink editing then downhill from there

Apart from the permalink thing, are there any other specifics you could suggest for improvement?

If you click on the “Title block” you should be able to see and alter the permalink.

@emilygee thanks for testing the new editor. I do think you perhaps have experienced a bug if you are unable to edit the permalink. Would you be able to create an bug report here: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/new. If you are unable to perhaps you can tell me some more information, for example are you using any more plugins and what theme?

It took me 2 days and some research to discover how to edit the permalink, not exactly intuitive but I believe this is something being worked on.

Additionally, when you first click on the title block, it presents the option to ‘change permalinks’. Clicking on this invites you to change your site permalink structure, not what you’re looking to achieve and not something you want as part of the editor.

Only after saving the draft are you given the option to ‘edit’. Note: you have to actually click the edit button before you can edit, clicking on the link takes you to a preview instead.

Its a good example of what is bad about Gutenberg. How much simpler and user-friendly it is to just click on the link and edit it.

Clicking title displays permalink and clicking edit allows to change it. But if there is a notification on top of the page (such as autosave, post update etc.), it doesn’t appear at all. I consider this is a bug because I haven’t been aware of permalink editing by clicking title until I closed notification. Also hiding sidebar by default is a really bad choice. I love minimalism but I wouldn’t call it minimalism since it requires too much effort and trials to access vital features.
