Some issues caused by flipping from the Markdown mode (MD) to the Rich Text (RT) mode, and back (examples here, here, and here) The team’s worked to fix many of the issues reported by you, including: The editors used on network sites were updated to include this release on June 21, 2022. To give you a high-level overview:Īlpha 2: This is what the team's been silently building and shipping since the original Alpha release of the editor. You can have a look at the Stacks Editor repo on GitHub to see a breakdown by feature of what's been worked on and what is still to come (issues in the “No Milestone” section are backlogged, with no projected pick-up date). The new Wizard, in turn, will later be a central piece of the Staging Ground project. This brings us to this post.Īs Yaakov mentioned earlier in June, the Stacks Editor is the main editor used in the new Ask Question Wizard, which will be made available on Stack Overflow sometime after the Beta 2 release goes out. We'll aim to be more proactive and frequent with communications on this going forward.

More importantly, though, and as I mentioned above, we ended up not updating you on where work on the editor was and where we were planning on going with it: this doesn't reflect well on us, and we apologize. While the team was still working silently on the Stacks Editor during this time, they had to balance this work with other priorities on their plate. The team worked hard to respond to your feedback, but after a while, public feedback from the team about what was being worked on slowed to a near halt.

The post gathered 110+ answers with bug reports, feature requests, and more general feedback provided by you. We asked you to test it and provide feedback - and you did. In the original announcement for the Alpha Version of the new editor, Catija highlighted some of the reasons why we needed to create a new editor, ranging from meeting our Teams users' needs to simplifying future dev work on the public sites (you can read more in the original announcement). The announcement post saw a lot of activity, and after a lot of work by our Stacks Team, we're ready to launch the Stacks Editor into its Beta version! If you have further bug reports or feature requests for the new Stacks Editor, please post them as new questions tagged stacks-editor.īack in early 2021, we announced the launch of the Alpha version for a new Stacks Editor. This question is no longer being monitored for new answers. The editor is still an opt-in feature, and there is currently no timeline for a network-wide deployment. TL DR: The Stacks Editor Beta release rolled out on July 5, 2022! To see what we've been working on, what we are working on, and what we plan to work on, check out the Stacks Editor repo on GitHub.
