I'm not sure why this changed but the new UI for adding child pages within structures is not very intuitive. There used to be a much more obvious method for adding a child page to an entry. I can't quite remember but there was a button, or a dropdown next to each entry or something?

I have to remind clients how to do this as it's not a particularly obvious UI pattern to check a single item and then go to a menu and select something.

Perhaps a small button next to each entry? If you're concerned about it looking messy then it could appear on hover or something? Obviously, this has implications with touch but there a ways around that.

Making it more obvious and reducing the number of clicks necessary for this would be beneficial as its surely the most frequent user goal in this UI?

Are you planning to to anything about this? Or has anyone written something custom ?

Just running into this now, am about to introduce a client to a site making big use of structures and I'm worried they'll click "add new page" then forget to choose a parent from the new page sidebar.

I think it would be much more helpful as OP says to have a add new page on each page in the tree.

Thanks!

Agree that this could be better.
