- Standardize: Icon Usage (one icon should represent just one type of action)
- Standardize: Button Usage - add Primary/Secondary Actions? + spacing/shape/size/alignment for form elements
- Standardize: Forms
- Create Space / Create Page / Copy Page / Rename Page
- Administration forms
- Review ColorThemes needed additions
- Consistency Notifications vs. Message Boxes vs. Pop-ups (when to use which)
- Consistency Action representation (use icon+link vs text+link) (Quick links - edit this panel text link vs. edit icon)
- links with icons: link just the containing text, not also the icon (bad ex. Dashboard: "Show minor edits", "RSS feed")
- Consistency Labels Naming (AllDocs, have a common vocabulary for actions, etc)
- Consistent typography: use of italic, use of bold, font-size
- usage of bold text for assuring emphasis on actions + show active states (livetable pagination)
- secondary links size: (standardize font-size + color) ex. Dashboard: "See modifications"; Annotation: "Refine the display criteria", Panel: "Edit this panel", Tags: "comma separated tags", Attachments author, Comments author, etc.
- Polish on User Profile (remove first-letter capslock; use/add secondaryBackgroundColor ), Invitation Manager, Templates,
- ItemCount: add it to Annotation shortcut + tab XAANNOTATIONS-25
