I agree on the inconsistency of the tab name "Display page", because
it's the only tab name that describes an action of the system (mahara
displays the page to me, the user) whereas the other names describe an
action of the author (I, the user, edit the title, description, layout
and content or share the page). And yes, the tabs should be displayed so
previewing/viewing is a step before sharing the page. But I wouldn't
change the order of the tabs, with the preview idea, to me it totally
makes sense to view it before sharing.

On the other hand, the way it works now suggests to me that sharing the
page is not a mandatory step in the page creation process (which makes
sense, I could create a page to share it via a collection). If so,
"Preview page" might be misleading in that it suggests you still have to
do something to complete the process/save the page. So maybe just call
it "View page" but still display the tabs?

The "Done" button is a bit confusing but renaming it to "save" would make it seem as if navigating away from the content-tab without clicking this button undoes all the changes, whereas the button is a mere navigation. Maybe, in line with the tab navigation in the "(Pre-)view page" view, the button could be named "Back to list" and we could add a button "Continue to (Pre-)view". 
There was another bug report about that name , see: https://lists.launchpad.net/mahara-contributors/msg16838.html and I seem to remember more discussions about renaming it though I can't find any forum post right now

Title:
  Page management improvements required

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  I'd like to suggest a number of improvements around a single page
  management:

  1. "Display page" should be called "Preview page" (and should probably
  go after "Share page"). I think the idea behind the order was that
  user wants to have a look what they made and then share, but without
  tabs menu this idea is completely lost.

  2. Therefore, tabs should appear on every page when a page is being
  edited. Currently it is very confusing that when you click "sharing"
  for a page, it doesn't show the other buttons "edit layout", "edit
  content" etc.

  3. Preview could reuse 'view/view.php?mode=preview' or smth similar to
  show tabs.

  4. Everywhere there is "Save" button, but on "Edit content" it is
  "Done" and when you click it, it navigates you to "All pages" page. It
  should go to "Preview" and be called "Save". Or maybe there should be
  2 options "Save and share" and "Save and preview", but I don't think
  it's necessary...
