The new Editor is horrible
The main way to stay in contact with my parents and students is through using our black board site. The old Flex Editor app was user friendly, offered advanced settings (I could open my paragraph in a new window and use whatever font I want, whatever color I wanted as well as advanced layout settings) Now I am limited to a few editing tools in the dashboard which makes my edited page look simple, boring and like it came from the year 2000. My students respond to current updated pages that they can relate to and are easy to read.…

Bring back the flex editor!
When I read the release notes, I noticed that some editor apps would be "upgraded to their modern counterparts." It did not read "we are removing the flex editor app and taking you back to the dysfunctional content app and not providing any of the modern features." I am trying to add a link to a survey I created, and there used to be a button at the top to do just that. Now, I have to go in and view the survey, copy the link, and then add a link in the content app. I am also struggling with…

Photo editing tools available for images
Have photo editing tools available for photos inserted directly into the flex editor. The only editing tools we have access to are in the photo gallery. If you only want a single image, you do not want to get involved in a photo gallery. Simple rotation tools, cropping, and maybe some color adjustments, at the very least

Why can we no longer insert a portrait photo into Flexedited pages?
For years we've been able to insert an image that was shot in portrait format. Now, all such photos are automatically rotated so they come out on their sides. I guess we're now to shoot any pictures in landscape format, or insert them using the Photo Gallery app. There are just some pages you don't want to be photo galleries, but you want photos. Can we have it back the way it was?

When putting a link on a page, the diaglog box does not give the editor easy access to both the on screen tex and the actual URL that it is
When editing a link on a page, the dialog box does not give the editor easy access to both the "Text to display" and the actual URL address that it is pointing to. The content App and Flex Editor should use a consistent dialog interface that allows the user to easily edit both on the same screen. Currently a user can edit the URL in the dialog box, but then has to drop back out to the flex box to edit the on-screen text if they need it different. It's annoying and causes major headaches and errors when the users…

Width guidelines
The flex editor should be sized to the specific area on the page you are editing. ex: If the page space is 500px, the flex editor should reflect that while making edits. It would be much easier to size images and determine text length (for readability) if this was in place.

Columns App or Columns Icon in Content or Flex Page App
Wrap long, bulleted lists into columns within a Content or Flex App. Or a Columns App by itself.

Allow the ability not to show "styles" and "font name" and "font size" boxes
We want users to more easily access CSS format selections and not be tempted to make changes to the format boxes.

Make tables easier to edit
Easier column sizing/resizing, padding, etc. Also, the icons at left that can be used to add or delete rows are right on the edge of the box, making it difficult to correctly select. Generally, the advice from SW techs for us was "stay away from tables."

Keep Paragraph Tag when hitting return key
When editing a page in C2, if I am typing a paragraph and hit the "enter" or "return" button, it breaks out of the paragraph tag and creates a div instead. In C1, if I was working in firefox, it would retain the paragraph tag; is there any way this functionality can be returned in C2? I hate having to go back and reapply p tags to everything!

A Save button within Full-Screen view.
It would be nice if full screen mode had a Save button so teachers could save during editing without having to switch views. I'm guessing this would be in the next release. Just an idea.

video embeds- Ability to resize video so it shows player
We are having trouble viewing video embedded as Rick Media Objects. They run fine in Internet Explorer (after the extra step of installing ActiveX), but are either not viewed or not visible if looked at through other browsers. And, it doesn't work at all on a Mac, only on a PC. This needs to be as easy to use as other features on the website. Teachers should not have to start working with HTML code in order to have their videos play.

Spacing Control
Can a button be added to allow editors to choose single spacing, 1 1/2 spacing, and double spacing?

Show Proper Font with Restrict Formatting
If restrict formatting is not on, what you see in the editor is what you get. If restrict formatting is on, what you see is not even close to what you get. This really hinders the restrict formatting option. Even though users should be restricted they should at least be able to see what a heading (and the font for that matter) is going to look like without flipping between windows.

Make tab key function to advance you to next cell
In the editor, when you are entering data into a row, you can't tab to the next cell/row.

Inserting a background in a table
When inserting a background in a table, the user will find it necessary to copy the URL and paste it into the image field (*under table properties/edit table properties), which involves many steps and isn't easy for the end user. Please consider add a browse to this field to avoid the copy paste tecnique.

Include specific article in Insert Link Wizard
To get a link to an article in a library you have to resort to cutting and pasting from the web address field in the browser. It would be nice if the Insert Link Wizard user interface would allow you to select from articles in a library and/or have a URL button at the article library level that will copy the article URL to the clipboard.

Copy Highlighted Text From Page When Creating Link To File
When you attempt to create a link to a file, the text you highlight that you want to become the hyperlink is deleted if you do not re-type the text in to the "Link Text" box in Centricty. So you either have to remember to copy the text prior to begining the link to file process, or re-type it exactly in the field box and the original text is deleted and replaced with what you type. Can't Centricity automatically fill in the "Link Text" field with the highlighted text or not even ask for a link text field. It really…

Auto-Compress Images Upon Upload
Centricity auto-compresses images when you insert an image and choose "Select Image from my Computer," but it doesn't auto-compress when you upload an image to a folder and choose "Select Image Already Uploaded to Site." Standard practice is to have an "images" folder. I teach my teachers to create an image folder, upload images to the folder, then insert images onto page from that folder. But if they upload a huge file, it stays huge. Please auto-compress all images of a certain size (500k?) or larger.
