Interaction
Text Inputs
When the input field is active, Save and Cancel options will be shown.
When Save is selected:
a spinning progress indicator is shown,
the changes are applied, and
the input returns to the regular state.
When Cancel is selected:
unapplied changes are discarded, and
the input returns to the regular state.
Clicking outside of the text input field:
returns it to the regular state, and
applies any changes.
All other interactions should follow the standard Text Area or Text Field components.
Selection Inputs
When a selection is made:
a spinning progress indicator is shown in place of the trigger icon,
the selection is applied, and
the input returns to the regular state.
Clicking outside of an active input closes it.

Best practices
Use:
On on screens where information needs to be updated frequently.
For for forms which have previously been completed, and only some fields subsequently need to be edited.
Where where it would be undesirable to change the user’s view.
Don’t use:
For for critical tasks or blank forms on first creation → use the standard component version instead.
Where where there’s lots of non-interactive guiding text on the same page.
