What?

DocumentControls only renders the doc-controls__icon-buttons wrapper when at least one of its buttons (live preview toggler, preview, schedule publish) renders.

Why?

The wrapper always rendered. When it was empty it was still a flex item in .doc-controls__controls, so the gap before Save / Publish doubled (8px + 0 + 8px). This was visible with a beforeDocumentControls component on a collection without live preview, preview or scheduled publish.

How?

The three existing render conditions are pulled into booleans, and the wrapper renders only if one of them is true. A component test covers both cases.

Fixes #19395

Walkthrough

DocumentControls now renders the icon-button wrapper only when live preview, preview, or scheduled publishing is visible. Tests cover wrapper and live-preview toggle visibility when live preview is disabled and enabled.

Changes: Document controls

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conditional icon-button rendering packages/ui/src/elements/DocumentControls/index.tsx, packages/ui/src/elements/DocumentControls/index.spec.tsx	DocumentControls computes visibility flags for live preview, preview, and scheduled publishing. It renders the icon-button wrapper only when at least one control is visible. Tests check wrapper and toggle visibility in both live-preview states.

Some document states can still show an extra gap before Save or Publish. The impact is limited to spacing.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: DocumentControls skips rendering the empty icon-buttons wrapper. It matches the raw summary and the PR objectives, and it follows the fix(ui) convention. It is specific and concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the change, the reason for it (the empty wrapper doubled the gap before Save/Publish), how it works (three render conditions pulled into booleans), and a test. It also links issue #19395. It matches the changeset closely.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #19395 requires that the gap before Save stays 8px when no icon buttons render. The head diff of packages/ui/src/elements/DocumentControls/index.tsx computes hasIconButtons from showLivePreviewToggler, showPreviewButton, and showSchedulePublishButton. It renders the doc-controls__icon-buttons wrapper only when hasIconButtons is true. With no live preview, admin.preview, or scheduled publish, the empty wrapper is no longer a flex item in .doc-controls__controls, so the gap is no longer doubled. The three child conditions match the original expressions: isLivePreviewEnabled && !isInDrawer, collectionConfig/globalConfig admin.preview, and hasScheduledPublishEnabled(...) && !isTrashed. When a preview button is present, the wrapper still renders and keeps its 8px gaps. The PR changes files under DocumentControls only (index.tsx and index.spec.tsx). The spec file was not inspected directly. The AI summary and PR description state that it covers both the wrapper-absent and wrapper-present cases. The code change alone meets the issue requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes are in packages/ui/src/elements/DocumentControls. The index.tsx change extracts existing render conditions into booleans and wraps the icon-button container in a conditional. It does not change the behavior of the individual buttons or the rest of the component. The spec file adds component tests for the empty-wrapper and live-preview cases, which support the same objective. No unrelated changes were found in the diff or the file list.

Do not count controls that render null as visible icon buttons.

When scheduled publishing is enabled but a new collection document has no id, showSchedulePublishButton is true and SchedulePublishButton returns null. The empty wrapper remains a flex item, so the gap before Save or Publish remains. A missing live-preview URL or preview URL can produce the same result. Make the wrapper’s visibility match its rendered children, or hide the wrapper when it is empty. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
