Simplifying Your Admin Experience
summary
Demo site demonstrates concrete fixes: inline creation of referenced entities prevents losing in-progress content, sensible defaults (country/state), and role-based landing pages via login redirect per role. Form improvements include visible field descriptions, primary-action prominence, and Ctrl/Cmd+S saving with Ctrl+S saves form. Widgets used in the demo: smart_date widget for events and tagify tags for tag management. Combined modules (admin toolbar, coffee, quick links, simplify, inline entity form) streamline frequent admin tasks.
