The Edit Secrets window is nearly useless

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  The text part of the Edit Secrets window is tiny and very difficult to use. Lots of wasted space on the page. Advanced Options don't give me a way to go to a full featured edit page. The 'Related Articles' option is not a link to those articles and it should be.   I find this particular feature painful and frustrating to use. Why so much wasted space? Why no easy way to go to a full-featured edit window? Why no active links to the related articles? Why such a tiny text window? I really don't see how this got put into live production as it is.    

How does this feature request address the current situation?

It would expand the size of the edit window greatly and add the formatting bar. The Related Articles would be a link. There would be an easy way to go to a full featured editor window  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Improvement of other similar features.

The Team's Response

Thanks for the suggestion! This is now closed as it was already implemented with the update to the Advanced Editor.

    This feels more like a bug fix than a feature request... but i use the secrets tab pretty heavily, so it's annoying to me too.

    Not sure why you made a feature suggestion, but this is known and will be resolved once the team has adapted the Euclid editor for it. And the Related Article works as intended.   In the meantime you can access the old editing interface by opening the editor from the sidebar in a new tab. Come to the Discord if you have any more questions.
