Summary

In 2022, a series of usability tests led to significant improvements in the script editor of the Octopus product, enhancing the first deployment experience for users. The changes aimed to address usability issues by moving the script editor to a more prominent position, adopting a dark theme for better visual hierarchy, and introducing a centralized toolbar to streamline actions such as language selection, copying to clipboard, and inserting variables. Previously scattered functionalities have been unified, and button labels have been added for clarity. The editor now expands for more comfortable inline editing and includes placeholder text that adapts to the selected language syntax. Initially planned for script steps, the update was extended to all instances of the editor, with customizable toolbar options based on context. These enhancements make reading and editing code in Octopus more intuitive, and users are encouraged to provide feedback on their experiences with the updated script editor.
