🎨 Refined the React tag details screen - #29934
Conversation
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The tag editor header now keeps secondary and destructive actions together while leaving Save as the primary action.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Internal tags are now identifiable from the editor header without relying on the hash prefix alone.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Tag colors now use the consistent Shade picker while retaining direct hex entry and keyboard save behavior.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Larger, tighter accordion headings improve hierarchy and make the supporting descriptions easier to scan.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The tag image selector now uses the recognizable Unsplash mark with the quieter ghost action treatment.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The empty tag image area now communicates its upload action more clearly at a glance.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The first design review called for denser metadata typography, a tighter color field, clearer badge separation, and a visible but muted Unsplash action.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The tag editor now separates core fields from advanced settings in a responsive 2:1 resource-editor layout.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Core tag fields now use the full left-column width so names, images, slugs, and descriptions remain comfortable in the split layout.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Advanced tag settings now open one at a time and use vertical form-then-preview layouts suited to the narrow sidebar.
WalkthroughThe tag detail page now uses Shade layout primitives, a popover color picker, tabbed metadata sections, updated image controls, and a tag actions menu. Previews format timestamps and engagement counts with Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The advanced settings panels do not yet enforce the intended workflow: Meta data is initially collapsed and multiple panels can remain open at once. Users may see the wrong default content and inconsistent panel behavior, so this should be corrected before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements A muted expanded-panel surface separates advanced settings from the accordion headers and helps white form controls stand out in the dense sidebar.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The muted expanded-panel background now reaches the card edges while headers and fields retain their intended internal spacing.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The expanded panel keeps its full-width structure but returns to the elevated white card surface so controls no longer feel visually inverted.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The Settings-style layout makes search and social metadata easier to scan while keeping code injection close to the core tag fields.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The wider metadata panel and dedicated preview canvas improve scanning while the collapsed code injection section keeps the primary form compact.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The preview canvas should finish flush with the metadata card instead of leaving an unrelated strip of white space.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The full-width preview background should follow the card radius without extending through its bottom corners.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Collapsible metadata and code injection cards keep secondary tag settings compact and grouped together beside the primary fields.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The related sidebar accordions should read as a compact group without oversized gaps or loose wrapped descriptions.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The metadata and code injection cards need enough separation to remain distinct while still reading as one sidebar group.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The preview canvas should use balanced side and bottom spacing across search and social metadata tabs.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Recommended limits are supporting guidance and should not compete visually with field labels or entered content.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The search and social previews need more breathing room below their content within the metadata canvas.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Supporting descriptions should use neutral letter spacing for comfortable reading at the compact sidebar size.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The Facebook mark needs its native canvas size so the circular logo remains intact instead of being clipped along its lower edge.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The Facebook preview should use a single thumbs-up reaction indicator instead of showing an unrelated second icon.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Maximum-length guidance should remain visually secondary and consistent with the recommended character limits.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Image upload areas and Unsplash actions need clearer interactive feedback while keeping their icons visually lightweight.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The secondary settings rail should feel lighter while retaining enough width for metadata fields, tabs, and previews.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements Medium screens need balanced columns before the layout transitions to the narrower settings rail on large screens.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The tag form should remain stacked until 800px so both columns have enough room before entering the balanced medium layout.
ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/PLA-342/design-refinements The form should stay stacked on smaller desktop widths, use balanced columns at 1024px, and introduce the narrower settings rail only when the Admin shell has enough room.

File: apps/admin/src/onboarding/onboarding-route.tsx:30-33
Timestamp: 2026-04-30T10:51:48.759Z
Learning: In the Ghost Admin React app, when you rely on data returned by `useBrowseSite()` (e.g., `site.data?.site.url` in the onboarding flow), assume the hook’s site data is already pre-loaded/cached before the route renders. In this context, the fallback to `"/"` for `site.data?.site.url` should not be treated as a practical runtime path, so avoid adding extra loading guards for `useBrowseSite()` output unless the `useBrowseSite()` preloading/caching guarantee changes.

Learning: Admin UI in Ghost is intentionally not localized. During code review, do not request adding i18n/translation hooks, wrappers, or new locale keys (e.g., updates to `packages/i18n/locales/en/ghost.json`) for Admin UI strings, including any React components under `apps/admin/src/`.

Learning: In this TryGhost/Ghost codebase (Tailwind CSS v4), use/accept the v4 suffix form of the important modifier in class names (e.g., `opacity-100!`, `flex!`). Do not flag these as incorrect or inconsistent with the older v3 prefix form (`!opacity-100`), since the suffix form is the established convention and aligns with the generated CSS.

Learning: When implementing custom error-toast flows in the Admin application, preserve the framework's default dismissal behavior by calling parameterless `toast.dismiss()` before showing the replacement toast. Then call `handleError(error, {withToast: false})` when framework error handling is needed without displaying its default toast.

What changed
Why
The React tag details screen needed clearer action hierarchy, more consistent controls, and a layout that separates everyday tag data from advanced metadata while remaining responsive.
