| |
14.1 | 57 | == Rename and Copy UI == |
| 58 | |||
 |
12.5 | 59 | * Updated the rename page UI's field labels and descriptions to mention that the update links also updates the relative links inside the renamed page and not just the backlinks. Also moved the count displays from the field label to the field's description, where applicable, in both the rename and the copy UI, for better UI consistency.((( |

| |
12.2 | 63 | ))) |
| |
13.3 | 64 | * The copy and rename UI now have the children and links options checked by default. We believe it`s better to preserve data consistency by default, even with the cost o having to go through lengthy operations (like when renaming a document with many children). |
