As there're 'Edit Delete' link on node page, when entering into the Edit page, there's only a 'save' button, no return link.

Then I click the 'View' tab, and click the 'Edit' tab, then saving it will only return to the 'View' tab. Finally, I can't return to my node any more.

I think there should be a return to the node link both on the 'View' and 'Edit' page.

thanks,

It would be quite useful to have a link to the node on the "Field Collection view page".

The view button is super confusing for the the end/non technical user - we'd set up a field collection on a node to allow clients to easily add groups of images and links - they keep ending up lost in places like this: field-collection/field-page-side-content/8/edit

I know - i could write a small module or hide the button with css, but that's a lot of overhead on each project just to keep things user friendly

i would vote for the View tab (when editing a collection) to return to the node rather than a view of the collection (which is likely rarely what's desired). perhaps make it a global or collection specific option.

Issue summary: View changes

I don't think it's a good idea to change the function of the view tab, the reason being that people may want to use the 'Links to field collection items' formatter and in that case the behavior will be what they expect.

It would be good to put a link back to the host at the top of these pages.

Another option that might help avoid confusion is to use the 'Fields only' formatter which won't add these links to the node view. In that case the user can edit the field collection items using the embedded widget.
