Description

I got frustrated with something on confluence and it was SO HARD to find how to give feedback or report a bug. 5 clicks later i still didn't find the right place. So now they will never enjoy my frustrations.

That made me think about the barrier for providing feedback for the beta site. We always have a Contact Us form that users can find in the header, but it seems like they don't use it much? For the beta site, do folks think users would be more likely to report feedback if there was a large button right there in every analysis? Something like below but with better wording?
