We are redesigning a web application for collaborative review of design work.
We currently use text-based buttons for drop-down menus e.g. File | Versions | Workspaces etc. We are having a raging debate about whether to switch from text to icons for some of the key functions and pull them out of the menus e.g. Compare Versions - users can compare two versions of a design side by side Upload New Version - upload a new version of a design. New Person - add a new person as a team member. What are the pros and cons of icons vs. text-based buttons. Are there any good resources that provide guidance on when to use each approach? I already searched the threads and came across the Braindrawing workshop idea.
