Hello, hello, hello, my lovely editors! Earlier today, Fandom released a minor design update to the VisualEditor, both the Visual Mode and the Source Mode (aka 2017 editor), with the goal to make your editing experience more accessible and intuitive!

To not miss out on any information, I encourage you to read this blog and/or the updated help page about it.

If you're pressed for time, don't worry, I got you covered! To summarize, we

• Renamed some of the tools (e.g. "paragraph" is now "normal text")

• Shuffled some icons around (e.g. the back and forward arrow buttons are now located on the far left rather than the middle)

• Hid some less-essential tools from view to make the initial editor view less overwhelming in all its glory (the tools are still accessible in dropdown menus)

• For the 2017 source mode: we removed the options available from the menu icon (those three stacked horizontal bars) -- If you want those back, you can customize your toolbar to access them from there)

• For the 2017 source mode: we used the menu icon to replace the gear icon

Are you more of a visual person? Check out the design mocks detailing the new location of options below:

As always, if you have any questions or remark about this, please sound off in the comments or otherwise reach me, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Happy editing!
