What Testing is Most Needed:

If you can effectively test in a language other than English, please test in that language. 🌍️
Follow any of the steps below, but the fact that it’s listed here means we already thought of it, so most importantly, get creative and find the things we didn’t think of!! 🤔
Bonus points: try using VoiceOver for any of the following!
Please use it in the wild. Please create pages and posts on different site types with different themes and include the WP apps in your life. ❤️

Quick Start:
- Create a new site and follow Quick Start guidance. Verify it follows the order correctly and behaves as expected. Notice that the toasts/messages from Quick Start no longer overlap needed buttons!
Posts/ Pages:
- Similar to dotCom behaviour, we disabled the ability to open the editor for Post pages. Provided a tooltip to see a similar message.
- Please create, edit and update Post pages for different sites. View in Reader and on web.
- After creating pages with titles and pages with no titles, go to Site Pages, click the three-dots menu on one of the site pages, and tap Set Parent. Verify that the results make sense to you and placeholders (only) appear where there were no titles.
Reader:
- Like and view from the Reader
- Remove a like and view original post and detail view to confirm it’s no longer there
- Follow the Reader tests in the smoke testing link below
