Editing files is not obvious in blob view
Problem to solve
Editing files is not obvious in blob view
The edit button is not obvious/does not stand out from other choices on the page (IH and IA problem). Additionally it shares user attention with Web IDE button. We are not guiding the user. Which option is best for the user?
Intended users
Further details

User thoughts:
The edit button is not very obvious, also there is a web IDE button as well.
Solution
- Make the default
Edit
button a primary info button. - Make the
Web IDE
button a secondary info button. - Make the
Delete
button a tertiary button.
