Description
When hovering over the row of a modified element in the BE module, one of the icon actions is "Open version of page", which is represented as the icon of a page with a loop on top of it (see screenshot if this is not clear enough).
I think it is confusing. Although there's also an eye icon which is clearly for previewing, I found it unexpected that the loop icon led to the page module. I don't really have any good suggestion right now, but I think that both the icon and its help bubble text are not clear enough.

I agree we need a better Icon here.

This is more fitting to the TYPO3 skin in general.
If I got it right, this feature opens in the "Page module"
the Page which contains of the modified Record in this WS.

I would also rearrange and separate the Icons there too:

Feedback is very welcome :)

Here also a suggestion for a better "Generate WS preview link".
Needs also Feedback.

Hmm, the "edit" icon is actually about editing the corresponding element, not just about editing content. So I would rather leave the pencil icon, because it's more general.
About the "open version of page" icon, I wouldn't use an "eye" because what the action does is to take the user to the Page module (or TemplaVoila Page module, if TV is used). So what about using the icon from the Page module instead?
As for the "Generate WS preview link", I'm unsure. I don't find it very clear. Do we really need an icon for this? If we can't find a good icon, maybe it's better not to use one at all.

What we found in our team meeting '"Open version of page" action is confusing' will get the icon of the current pagemodule (core or templavoila).
The "large" eye will be kept for the preview, the "large" pencil will be kept for the edit action

That sounds very good. Thanks.

I don't think that the magnifier icon above the page is confusing - except you're used to the way before 4.4. since 4.4 the preview icon changed from the "magnifier above a page"-icon to the eye-icon. So in my opinion people who are confused by this are still used to the old way, because in general the eye-icon shows a preview of the page (visually - thats why it's an eye) - and the magnifier shows you a content within the backend (literally it jumps to the page that contains that very content - almost like a search).
I would suggest to simply change the page-icon below the magnifier to be the same icon as for the page-module itself. The other I would just leave as they are...
cheers

We streamlined the icons in v8 refactoring to be consistent with the rest of the icon set in the Backend UX. So this issue is now resolved.
