Enable Full-Width Inline Editing for Controls
J

Mar 26, 2026

Description:
Currently, controls can technically be edited via the side panel (right-hand "Control details" view). However, this interface significantly limits the usability of the editor due to its constrained width.

For controls containing detailed descriptions (e.g., ISO 27001 clauses, policies, procedures), the narrow editing panel makes it difficult to:

  • Read and review content efficiently
  • Structure text properly (paragraphs, lists, formatting)
  • Perform quality assurance on longer content

Feature Request:
Introduce a full-width editing mode directly from the Controls / Control Set Builder view.

This could be implemented via:

  • A "Edit Full Screen" button** in the side panel
  • Or direct inline editing within the main content area (replacing the read-only cards)
  • Optional toggle between view mode and edit mode

Key Improvement:
Allow the description field (rich text editor) to use the full available horizontal space, similar to a document editor.

Business Value:

  • Improves readability and content quality for ISMS documentation

  • Reduces formatting errors and rework

  • Enhances user productivity during policy drafting and control definition

User Pain Point (Observed):
The current right-side panel creates a “tunnel view” effect, forcing excessive scrolling and making it difficult to visualize the full structure of the control content.

Use Case:
While drafting or reviewing ISMS controls (e.g., "Context of the Organization", "Scope", "Risk Management"), users need a document-like editing experience rather than a form-based narrow panel.


Summary:
This is not only a functional improvement but a usability and quality-of-output enhancement, directly impacting how effectively organizations can build and maintain their ISMS documentation.
