It seems that option 2 (_Add preview button next to image upload_) was implemented. I’d like to share a couple of observations related to the resulting UX:

- A user on my forum (quite a web-savvy guy) simply could not for the life of himself figure out where the formatting toolbar had gone, to the point where he reached out to me thinking its absence had been caused by a bug. It looks like [plans to conditionally make the toolbar appear on Android devices were not followed upon](https://meta.discourse.org/t/enable-formatting-toolbar-by-default-on-mobile/103839/10?); would it be possible for this idea to be revisited and perhaps implemented?

- Additionally (or alternatively), a setting that would allow to switch off the toolbar auto-collapse feature altogether, and/or to define its default state on all devices would be greatly appreciated.

- The button that controls the display and collapse of the toolbar is a hamburger menu button, and this is an additional hindrance to discoverability. It’s also odd, given that there no longer are actual menu items behind this button, only a single, immediate action. Could the icon be changed to something a bit more on point? Maybe a [straight ruler](https://emojipedia.org/straight-ruler/)? Or a pencil?
