Comment (by joedolson):
> Do you mean that the Categories, Tags, etc. selection UI will be
initially hidden like in tabs? Perhaps it would be better if they are all
visible. Less confusing and a lot better for accessibility.
I don't think this would be an accessibility concern. A well-constructed
tabpanel is a good way of simplifying a complex user interface. I don't
think it's a concern for most standard post types with just a couple of
taxonomies, but for sites that make heavier use of taxonomies and a post
type could have 6 or 7 taxonomies, I think this would be beneficial. It
would be a significant benefit for keyboard users who aren't using a
screen reader; screen readers have enough additional keyboard navigation
mechanisms that they can work with it pretty easily either way, but
navigating all those terms just from the keyboard would be very labor
intensive.
> Frankly I'm not sure if this is worth doing. It will also be super
confusing if a user changes a category or tag and then notices they have
selected a wrong post and deselects it. If saved "on change" the wrong
post would be changed anyway and the "Update" button at the bottom becomes
somewhat pointless.
Agree with @azaozz. Implementing any kind of autosave on bulk actions is
pretty risky; I think bulk actions should only be handled when the user is
ready.
