What?

This PR displays revisions to the global styles in the global styles sidebar (revisions for the wp_global_styles custom post type) in a timeline-like list.

At the moment is a limit imposed by the rest controller of 100 revisions.

The revisions panel will only be available once there are more than two revisions. This is because the theme global styles default state is not treated as a revision. It's possible to add it in though.

How?

Building on the work in :

TODO

  • Maybe extract components in screen-revisions.js into separate files
  • Extract changes that are testable on their own, e.g., API changes
  • Add E2E tests
  • Whatever else swings by

Testing Instructions

  1. Make a few changes to your site's global styles, save each one.
  2. Open the revisions view via the global styles context menu
  3. Check that the "currently-saved" revision is correct. Now select a revision and ensure you can preview it
  4. Click on the "Load revision" to load it in the editor and close the revisions view
  5. Save the post
  6. Make some changes to global styles but don't save. Changes may include global style properties such as color, or layout and also block-level styles or custom color palettes. The more the better. Go for it!
  7. Open the revisions view and check that there is an "Unsaved changes" item at the start of the list. Now try to load a revision as per steps 2-4
  8. You should be prompted to exit and save your current changes from step 6, or go ahead and load the revision into the editor
  9. Now open the revisions view
  10. Play around with the panel and make sure it closes as expected, e.g., when switching to code editor view or opening the stylebook

Run the E2E tests if you want

npm run test:e2e:playwright -- --headed site-editor/user-global-styles-revisions.spec

Great progress!

@jasmussen @jameskoster @SaxonF — one thing we should be getting ahead of is treating "styles" as a more comprehensive section where revisions, style book, etc, can feel more integrated. Thinking of the ways in which we present the header and header tools, for example.

Thanks @ramonjd. Please give me a ping when the general UX is closer to the latest in #49601, and I'm happy to help polish the pixels!

👋 @jameskoster I've got this branch working according to the last version of my explorations.

The way I've set it up means that we can load and preview revisions without affecting the editor state and, therefore, any unsaved changes.

Just wanted to check how far we could take things according to the timeline demo you posted.

I like the time line look, and I'd like to take a stab at it. I just had a couple of thoughts:

❓ Would the number of revisions impact the layout? What if there are > 50? I'm loading them in a select dropdown for now when the number of revisions is > 10, which is practical, but doesn't look fabulous.

❓ Is the save modal still warranted? It might be a tricky where there are template and global styles changes. I assume we'd only want to save global styles and not template changes. I think it'd be beneficial to do that in a follow up PR given the complexity, for ease of review.

I've already mentioned it, I believe we don't need to introduce a new save flow now that previewing revisions is independent of the editor. Users can open revisions, try them out, and return to the editor in whatever state they left it in, that is, any unsaved changes are unaffected.

Thanks!

Oh, nice, that is excellent news! That probably means we don't need the save modal, but may need a dedicated 'Load this revision' button which my designs didn't have. I'll revisit my prototype and share an update soon.

Would the number of revisions impact the layout?

I don't think so. Any reason not to just allow the timeline to scroll?

Storing unsaved changes makes for a much simpler design :)

revisions.mp4
  • The current state, whether it is an actual revision or just unsaved changes appears active at the top of the timeline.
  • Selecting any other revision reveals the 'Load revision' button.
  • Confirmation dialog informs the user that unsaved changes will be lost.
  • On load, any existing unsaved changes are replaced with the revision.
  • Nothing is saved until the user clicks the Save button, this is when a new revision is created.

Until Styles exists as a more comprehensive section as mentioned above, we'll need to think about what happens when a user selects a revision, doesn't load it, then exits the Revisions timeline somehow (clicks back, closes Styles panel, opens Inspector, etc). In other words, what happens if you click the < button here:

I think it's probably fine to just return to the stored unsaved changes for now, but it feels like a situation where it could be good to get confirmation from the user.

You know what, I don't know! 😄

Thanks a lot for taking the time to revisit the design.

I'll throw something up so we can play around with it.

@jameskoster I've made pretty decent headway on the design today. See the updated GIF in the PR description.

Code-wise there's a bit to clean up, including splitting out API and other changes that might require separate reviews.

Also, ignore the pesky CI test fails... I'll deal with them later 😜

It seems like the issue is that we're not disabling the Styles welcome guide on the first load. So it always fails once but passes the next run. It's easy to miss, but there's an automatically-created issue in #50089 (comment). Also there were inline failure messages in the File tab too (L60 and L117).

Thanks @kevin940726!! Looks like I forgot to pass skipWelcomeGuide = true to visitSiteEditor(). I'll test it out

Edit: Oh, now I remember - I saw that skipWelcomeGuide was true by default.

That's why I left it. 🤷

Edit Edit: You said the styles welcome guide. I understood the other one, sorry. 🤦

@kevin940726 @Mamaduka

I have what I hope is a fix for the flakiness over at #50454

Turns out I was leaving unsaved changes in the site editor so I think the test might have been trying to select an already-saved style. I don't know. But it appears to run more reliably locally now.

@ramonjd one thing we missed here that would be good to address in a follow-up: Use the zoom-out view for the canvas, rather than the stylebook container.

Sounds like a good follow up. Thanks @jameskoster 👍 I'll make a note.
