Description (last modified by )
I've noticed a couple of small things we can do to improve the UI/UX of the new revisions screen:
A couple things to consider:
Add a short description (intro sentence) explaining what to do once you land on the page.[24173]Disable previous and next buttons when you're on the first, and last node.[24020]Fix some padding/margin inconsistencies (i.e. unnecessarily large padding on right side of screen)- Slider handle (blue down arrow) icon looks a tad rasterized (especially on retina device)
- Seems like the "Restore this revision" button should be in the proximity of the right side instead of in the middle (as the right side is the visual representation of what will actually be restored).
When in "Compare two revisions" mode, the blue highlighted section within the slider, covers all of the revision nodes. We might look at decreasing the height of that blue highlighted area.[24020]

i wanted to point out that i believe you are making a common mistake here:
the right hand column represents what was added in the revision, the left hand column represents what was removed. the restore revision button is near the To: revision because thats whats always restored when you click the button.
its an easy confusion to make and i had proposed a single column mode that was long ago disabled, maybe we can reconsider?

I linked the Revision Management codex article in the help tab sidebar, which is on the docs team's priority list for the 3.6 Codex Sprint.

Help tab following changes in 23899.3.diff:
Tab: Overview:
This screen is used for managing your content revisions.
Revisions are saved copies of your post or page, which are periodically created as you update your content. The red text on the left shows the content that was removed. The green text on the right shows the content that was added.
From this screen you can review, compare, and restore revisions:
- To navigate between revisions, drag the slider arrow left or right or use the Previous or Next buttons.
- To compare two revisions select the Compare two revisions box.
- To restore a revision, click Restore This Revision.
Tab Sidebar:
For more information:
23899.diff tries to be smart about disabling the next and previous buttons based on where you're at on the slider.
