Problem
The placement of the
Add
button within theExplore rooms
page suggests that it functions similarly to the nearbyRemove
andMark as not suggested
buttons. The lack of aSelect a room below first
tooltip and a separate button style isn't enough to differentiate theAdd
button from its inline button cousins.In practice, this results in users (me) failing to add an existing room to a Space. I've forgotten the button's functionality even after using it multiple times :(
Proposed solution
I've mocked up a different placement for the
Add
button that would (probably) communicate its functionality better.Alternative solutions
Remove this Add button entirely, and defer to the
+
buttons beside People and Rooms in the channel tray.Or if you'd like to go overkill, allow users to drag rooms from the channel tray onto icons in the Spaces tray.
Additional context
This is a low-priority issue.
