(Two comments mixed here since they're kind of related) ''"Upload file" really needs more thinking in terms of where it fits in the hierarchy. Maybe it's sometimes a call-out action (when there's a great opportunity to add an original media file), sometimes not? In any case, it doesn't fit with the navigational links.''

and

''Since this is a pretty future-oriented design, we should think about the "edit mode" altogether. With the Visual Editor, we should be able to transform sections of the page, or the whole page, into edit mode without the heavy mode switch that's currently required (ideally without a full page reload as well). What will that mean? Perhaps tapping paragraphs or selecting text makes an edit action available; perhaps there are other implicit or explicit triggers for edit mode beyond what we currently have.''


 * Yes, "Upload File" really doesn't fit anywhere (except perhaps the "gadget gutter"). This is probably why it was unceremoniously shoved into the "toolbox" - no one knew quite what to do with it (and we still don't)
 * NeilK has a pretty strong opinion that it doesn't belong anywhere except in an "edit mode." To that end, I've been thinking about how an "edit" mode works, and it would be rather simple (at least at tablet+ resolutions):
 * We just take over the gadget gutter and put all pallettes and toolbars there.
 * The "Edit Page" button then becomes and "activate edit mode" function.
