Summary

Viewers can now open pages in the web editor and propose text changes using suggesting mode. This update documents the new viewer capabilities across the roles, permissions, and suggestions pages.

Changes

  • dashboard/roles.mdx: Added "Make suggestions in the editor" and "Upload media" rows to the permissions table. Added a new section explaining what viewers can and cannot do in the editor.
  • editor/suggestions.mdx: Added a note explaining that viewers are always in suggesting mode and cannot switch to direct editing.
  • dashboard/permissions.mdx: Added a paragraph describing viewer access to the web editor via suggesting mode.

Triggered by

Viewer role support for the web editor — viewers are automatically placed in suggesting mode with restricted toolbar access.


Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only updates that clarify viewer permissions; no runtime or security-sensitive code changes.

Overview
Documents new viewer capabilities in the web editor by clarifying that viewers can open pages and propose changes via suggesting mode, but cannot directly edit, upload media, or publish.

Updates the roles/permissions docs to reflect suggestion support (and explicitly calls out viewer restrictions), and adds a note on the suggestions page that viewers are always forced into suggesting mode and cannot switch to direct editing.

Viewers can now open pages in the web editor and propose changes using
suggesting mode. The editor automatically locks viewers into suggesting
mode and restricts formatting tools, media uploads, and publishing.
