[kemister85]

Ticket: DOC-3243

Site: Staging links:

• 8.4.0 Release notes – Additions
• Custom view – Options / view_show
• Suggested Edits – Show view on editor load
• Revision History – Show view on editor load
• Enhanced Code Editor – Show view on editor load
• Custom view – Interactive example

Changes:

• Added release note entry for TINY-11967 to modules/ROOT/pages/8.4.0-release-notes.adoc (Additions section): New view_show option to display a specified view on initialization.
• Created modules/ROOT/partials/configuration/view_show.adoc – configuration option partial with description, plugin links, and examples (premium plugin and custom view).
• Updated modules/ROOT/pages/custom-view.adoc – added Options section including view_show partial; restructured so Toggling and Querying remain under Editor View API.
• Created modules/ROOT/partials/plugins/suggestededits-open-view.adoc and included in modules/ROOT/pages/suggestededits.adoc.
• Created modules/ROOT/partials/plugins/revisionhistory-open-view.adoc and included in modules/ROOT/pages/revisionhistory.adoc.
• Created modules/ROOT/partials/plugins/advcode-open-view.adoc and included in modules/ROOT/pages/advcode.adoc.
• Fixed modules/ROOT/examples/live-demos/custom-view/index.js – removed .replace(/\s+/g, '') that stripped spaces from editor content; set textarea value separately to preserve content. - broken 2 years ago.

	</div>`.replace(/\s+/g, '');
	<textarea class="my-textarea" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; resize: none; padding: 0.5em"></textarea>
	</div>`;
	container.querySelector('.my-textarea').value = editorContent;

Suggested change

Previously, integrators could not configure the editor to open with a specific view (such as Suggested Edits or Revision History) displayed on initialization. This was needed when users would only need to resolve suggested changes or review content, or when the current user had permission only to review changes.

Since this is a new feature, we don't need to describe the previous behaviour.

Suggested change

	This option allows the specified view to be displayed on editor initialization. It behaves similarly to xref:customsidebar.adoc#sidebar_show[`+sidebar_show+`] but applies to views and takes precedence when both are configured. Views and sidebars can both be set to show on init.
