    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Certainly, using Confluence as a customer-facing product documentation repository and knowledge base has the advantage of allowing customers to participate in information improvements. Problem is, though, that if the page is more than a couple screen-fulls long, you have to scroll back up to where the Edit button is hiding inside the top edge of the page.

      It would be a significant user-centered enhancement to put the edit button in the frame of the page window so users can just "hit edit" instead of having to find it first. Infrequent contributors find this quite annoying. And secondly, since browsers can tell where you are on in a long page (because you can always click a link and then use the back button to return), start the editor framed around the page that the user was looking at. Imagine how appealing it would be to see something that needs fixed and then press the edit button, change it and save it. Compare that to hunting through long pages for the text you didn't like.
