When will the "edit skin" in DNN 7.2 be used?

Question

I thought that the "edit skin" is a special skin that DNN will use when in page edit mode, but I tried and cannot make DNN load that skin. It will always use the default site skin or the individual page skin.

Answer 1

This would typically be used if you had the POPUPS disabled in the ADMIN setting, and a module loaded a secondary VIEW or EDIT control using the ControlKey parameters.

/PageName/ctl/View2/

As a module developer you would do this by having multiple controls defined in a module definition.

It could also be used even if you have Popups enabled, for controls that are marked to not support popups (defined in the module's definition).
