I have tested the new enhanced MARC editor screen and it looks really great. I typically prefer the plain text editor to the enhanced editor and don't use the latter very often. But, with these enhancements, that may change.

--I really like the gray background colors.

--The Help button is awesome, especially the inline help for the MARC fields. This is really helpful! Is there a reason that this button is situated on the far right side of the screen? I'd prefer it next to the "Validate" option.

--I really like the option to drag and drop fields and the addition of the move button is also great. I am sure many users are happy with the existing keyboard shortcuts, so I am glad that those are still available as well.

--I also like the way that the tooltips for the fixed fields are control fields display the current value at the top of the list. This makes it easier for staff to verify that the values are correct. Some of the tootip feedback is incorrect, however, indicating that the existing value is unknown even though it is a valid value and displays on the list of available values. But, maybe this is a configuration issue or database issue? Please see attached screenshots.

Overall, I think the new and improved MARC editor is fantastic. Thanks for all of your work on this, Stephanie.
