I am using sitecore 8.2 (rev. 161221) and I am trying to learn Sitecore Speak UI.
I follow the steps describe here but the custom tab is not visible.
What I have created in core database
Let me know what I missed so that the new tab is visible.
You need to add at least one Chunk with some element, e.g. Large Button, to your Strip. Otherwise it's invisible.

The project I'm working on is a new Sitecore 8 site build using MVC and with a demand for page-editor support. The simple fields are being addressed with the FieldRenderer.render() method, but there are also some droplink and multilist fields that need to be available in page editor.
In webforms you could use the sc:editframe control for that, but how can I get the same functionality while using Sitecore MVC?
Just an FYI in Sitecore 8.2 there is support for edit frames:
#using Sitecore.Mvc.Extensions
Then
#using(Html.EditFrame(...)) {...}
If not already, I highly recommend using GlassMapper to map your Sitecoce object to strongly typed objects in your code.
With Glass, you can then use the BeginEditFrame concept to replace the sc:EditFrame functionality of WebForms.
To take it a step further, look to implement edit frame buttons (this link is not Sitecore 8 specific, but the method to implement edit frame buttons is the same) in the core database to allow a very-friendly Experience Editor experience.
Not sure why but I am not seeing the 'Applications' folder under 'Content'. All the tutorials out there mention editing the (/sitecore/content/Applications/WebEdit/Custom Experience Button) items to accomplish what I need.
My guess is I don't have view access to the core database in order to see these items or folders? If this isn't the case, how would I go about finding these buttons? Any help appreciated and I apologize if I didn't provide enough info but my goal is to add features to the page editor component toolbars.
To make this a formal answer...
First, login to desktop mode (on login screen, select "Desktop" from "Options" expander below form). Next, change database to core at bottom right:
Finally, re-open your content manager and you should see the /sitecore/content/Applications node.
Background:
We have a sitecore 6 installation with a bit of custom code to detect devices (and origins), and switch to a different (custom) device definition in sitecore. This has the effect of changing templates, and controls where appropriate.
This all works fine.
However.
When we select a node in the content tree, go to the Presentation Tab, click Details to get the Layout Details windows, then edit a device item to add controls we see that duplicates are being added to the devices - not just the one we are editing either. It seems to "double up" what is there - but it never changes the "Default" layout.
I have checked the usual suspects (i.e. all connection strings are correct, pointing to the right databases) but I still get duplicates on saving. The duplicate does not appear on edit - but save - it seems.
Any suggestions on how to track this down, as its causing a nightmare for us.

This is a known issue that can be solved by specifying a layout (Mobile Layout and Main Layout, in your case) on the standard values of your template.
Is it feasible to have a form in WFFM that has multiple "screens"? For instance in the first "screen" you enter some information and click NEXT, then the second "screen" asks you to confirm the information you entered in the first screen, and then the user clicks SUBMIT and the action (i.e. saving to DB) is performed.
Thanks,

This kind of functionality is not supported out of the box. Whenever we run into cases like this we tend to build our own custom forms using standard .net functionality. I guess this would be the way to go for you aswell, since you will have more control over the behavior of different elements. WFFM is a good module but for special elements as you describe above you could best build your own custom code.
I have a layout with two place holders leftColumn and rightColumn. For an item i am adding multiple sublayouts for leftcolumn and multiple sublayouts for rightcolumn. Now in page editor when i am trying to change position using "Change Position" button in toolbar and move content to another location, content is getting moved to my new location as desired. But when i click Save button on Ribbon, it is actually deleting moved content from presentation itself.
I am not sure why it is behaving like this. we are using Sitecore 6.4
We opened a ticket with Sitecore and found out that this is an existing bug. They do not support movement of multiple controls/sublayouts within same placeholder on layout using PageEditor. We need to use multiple placeholder on layout and then we can change position of controls from one placeholder to another one.
Can you see anything through Sitecore Logs? It may have any errors or exceptions that are being generated.
