Ideas and notes

Size, position and space give the title, explanation and next step different roles.

Three messages compete. Equal sizes do not explain what to read first. Offer, details and contact initially have the same size and weight. None establishes a reading entry point.

The offer takes the first level. Details expand what the title already makes understandable. Offer grows larger. Details moves to a second level and Contact keeps a separate position.

Space connects the parts. Distance groups the explanation and distinguishes the next step. A region groups Offer with Details. Contact is separated as the next step without competing with the title.

A boundary separates granted capabilities from actions that need another permission.

Define the capabilities. Reading and preparing are different permissions from sending or deleting. Read and Prepare sit inside an authorised region. Send and Delete remain outside it.

The proposal reaches the boundary. Having a result ready does not grant permission to execute it. A marker moves from Prepare to the boundary. It stops before Send.

Changing permission requires review. A person can authorise, request changes or stop the process. Three decisions appear at the boundary: Authorise, Revise and Stop. Only Authorise connects to the action.

Content returns to review when information changes. Updating and archiving are different outcomes.

Writing has a destination. Review connects a draft with publication. Write connects to Review and then Publish. The path remains open after publication.

Information changes. Published content returns to review when it needs updating. A return arrow connects Publish to Update and takes content back to Review. The path forms a cycle.

Sometimes archiving is appropriate. An outdated piece can leave the publishing path. Review branches into two paths: update and publish again, or archive and leave the cycle.
