Sister PR: https://github.com/guardian/flexible-content/pull/4400
Co-Authored-By: @twrichards
It's common to see notes used in body copy of Composer for important messages between editorial colleagues that aren't supposed to be published, but with un-noting being a single click they sometimes are.
An ambition of Pinboard has long been to centralise discussions around single pieces of content, not least because of this potentially problematic use of notes.
What does this change?
This adds a new
isStarredcolumn to the item table with corresponding GraphQL schema change, updated queries, and a mutation for toggling the new flag on a given item (which triggers the existingonMutateItemsubscription).Introduced a new star icon toggle button beneath the user's avatar to indicate the starred status of messages and on toggle present a confirmation modal (similar to the delete item modal).
Takes over the rendering of the placeholders added in https://github.com/guardian/flexible-content/pull/4400 and lists all starred messages (with timestamp and author) alongside an explainer of the feature.
The result looks a bit like this:
How to test
Deploy this and https://github.com/guardian/flexible-content/pull/4400 to their respective CODE environments and create some starred message in CODE Composer (on any article tracked in Workflow CODE, otherwise you won't get starred messages).
How can we measure success?
Ultimately fewer notes published accidentally, and starred messages can connect to larger ongoing conversations around pieces of content.
Have we considered potential risks?
Decoupling editorial notes from body copy does create an opportunity to see one but not the other. If Pinboard were to stop working as expected these important messages may stop being visible to those who most need to see them.
However in the vast majority of cases the sticky positioning and starred background of starred messages makes it more likely that they'll be seen than notes that slip out of the viewport.
