Download reviews

[MrRob100]

The ability to download reviews in PDF format with the options 'Export author-friendly version of the form, displaying only sections marked as visible to the author' or 'Export editor version of the form, displaying all sections of the review form'. These options will be available from the 'Read review' modal

Example of a downloaded review:

@Devika008 I would like to revisit this and get your ideas about the design of this please :)

[LetyBA]

I find this incredibly helpful, it is in process of development as a plugin?

[MrRob100]

@LetyBA No, it's in process of development for OJS 3.5 :)

[LetyBA]

We use 3.3.15 but maybe could work hehe or maybe if possible the developers could consider a friendly plugin for older versions... Thank you!

@MrRob100 on it! Sharing the designs with you in some :D

My Proposal

One common concern users frequently voice about OJS is its heavy reliance on clicks and modals, leading to a frustratingly lengthy process just to perform a single action. To address this issue, I've streamlined the interface by significantly reducing the number of modals and clicks required to make decisions. Instead, I've condensed the options into a convenient dropdown menu with Text Only Buttons. This not only enhances user experience but also demonstrates the platform's adaptability, as evidenced by the inclusion of alternative formats beyond just PDF, ensuring future scalability and flexibility.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this proposal.

PS: Please mind the proportions as I have used actual button sizes and dropdown on a screenshot so that Its easier to pick dimensions when coding it

@Devika008 Thanks, this crossed our minds. Great to have your input. Although I've just realised this will use the new side modal style right? In any case, this will make the dev a lot simpler too as we won't have a nested modal @jardakotesovec
