As an editor I want to open and edit existing content so that I can update, or improve it.

Acceptance criteria

The user can click in any place and start typing or editing. A text cursor will appear.

The user can modify text, images, or formatting.

The user can publish at any time on edit mode, on reading context there is no Pubish button. In editing context the Publish button is always available, but disable when there are no changes. The

The system confirms when changes are successfully published.

The system shows autosave every time the user changes something.

When the user leaves without publishing the document, the Publish button status changes as a signal that some content was not published.

When publishing, the dialog shows when was the last time it was last published and if there are changes to published.

When the user clicks the "last time it was published," the versions list will be opened.

When the user clicks "changes to publish," the changes will be highlighted in the document.

If the user Clicks outside the text area, the Cursor should disappear. The same if the user press ESC.

Publish button is not shown when user is on Comments tab.

To publish a comment, first the target document, block or range must be published.

Important notes:

Save vs publish — this is the key tension. Right now the flow forces a binary: publish or discard. But users naturally want a third state: "I'm done for now, save my draft, I'll publish later."

Discard isn't really "throw away my work" — it's closer to "revert to the last published version", which is a much more meaningful and specific action. That's a different mental model entirely.
