What is the expected workflow for adding new elements in the Draft Space

Jeff Hooker

The Draft Space is a very nice tool; I'd say the best in class. It is still pretty hard to understand sometimes.

My particular gripe is concerns how opaque the workflow is when trying to insert a new element between or after existing elements, particularly when you've got a situation like an ordered list as the last element of a section, figuring out how to select the gap between the last element of the OL but stay within the section element can be infuriating. 

I made a short movie about this: www.youtube.com/watch

I've trolled the documentation for this and the assumption seems to be that nobody needs this explained. I don't like instructing my users to "just grope until it does what you want". Do we have some better guidance?

Thanks

    Question improvement suggestion: Provide specific steps or examples of what you have tried so far to insert new elements in the Draft Space, as well as the version of the software you are using.  

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

    Hello!  

    Step 1: To add new elements in the Draft Space, you typically need to navigate to the desired location within your document. This can be tricky, especially when dealing with ordered lists or other structured elements.  

    Step 2: When you want to insert a new element between existing ones, ensure that you are selecting the correct gap. You can do this by clicking directly in the space where you want the new element to appear. If you are having trouble selecting the gap, try using the keyboard arrow keys to navigate more precisely.  

    Step 3: If you are working with an ordered list, you may need to click just after the last item in the list to create a new line. This can sometimes be finicky, so patience is key.  

    Step 4: If you find that the Draft Space is not responding as expected, consider checking for any updates or patches for your version of the software, as improvements are often made to enhance usability.  

    Step 5: If the issue persists, you might want to explore the documentation or community forums for specific guidance on inserting elements in the Draft Space, as there may be tips or tricks shared by other users.
