In reply to Stephen Vaughan.

Oh, we are reading, Stephen. I’m Jarek, the designer working on the new product editing experience. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!

Next time, you can use the in-product feedback form to make sure we’ll get it. You can access it through the bar fixed at the bottom of the screen or using the … button in the top right corner.

Regarding variations, everything you mentioned is in the works. Managing stock, pricing, and shipping details will become easier thanks to a dedicated variation details screen. We’ll also add contextual actions so that you can edit these details directly in the variations table and save a few clicks.

You can follow our progress on GitHub. This link will let you view all active issues related to the new product editing UX: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22focus%3A+new+product+ux%22

As for the visual design, it’s still in flux and tightly linked to what’s happening on the WordPress side of things (https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/12/admin-design/). We’ll adopt the new wp-admin visual language as soon as it’s crystalized, but we welcome feedback anytime.

Do you mind sharing what you mean by “more defined fields”? Do you think that the white space in the form affects your focus? If you could design the perfect form for your use case, what would it look like?

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment (and look us up on GitHub!). Happy to answer any other questions about the new product form.
