[kongo09]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

What do you expect?

Consistency between EX and Web

• same copy, e.g. unreads vs. unread or favourites vs. favorites
• same order from EX: unreads, people, rooms, favorites
• same scope: EW missing invites
• no linebreak in EW for narrow room lists
• leading X to clear all filters

What do you experience?

Web

EX

Teams avoiding the linebreak by using a chevron

Have you considered any alternatives?

Thanks, Patrick!

same copy, e.g. unreads vs. unread or favourites vs. favorites

Great catch, this should be really easy to fix Unread > Unreads. Will raise with team.
The spelling of Favourites should be British English (with the U) - we will need to raise that with the EX team.

same order from EX: unreads, people, rooms, favorites

Gaelle specifically asked that we have the filters on web in the order they are currently in because Unreads and Favourites are probably going to be the most used...

@amshakal I agree with PA that the filters should match in their order -- which is the cross-platform order we should go with?

same scope: EW missing invites

EX has an Invites filter? Does it only show when you have one?

no linebreak in EW for narrow room lists

EW does have a line break - it doesn't have the expansion like MS. Gaelle was very against this solution (I think Design was as a whole against this). @amshakal wdyt?

leading X to clear all filters

Similarly, Design didn't want to introduce the X on web, and then chose to implement single-select filters - I forget the reasons why but know they were discussed.

We have more filters (secondary) that are not yet exposed in the UI:

The text has been changed.

We need a UX decision on whether to change the order of the pills to match on mobile, @amshakal / @americanrefugee wdyt?

Yes, I think they should be ordered like on mobile.

I've made #29666 for this, assuming design agree with this change.
