Reference document edit view

[mingard]

I've been looking at the referenced document selection process and have come across a couple of issues:

1. Selected media isn't always obvious

The checkbox is elegant, but it's very difficult to see from a glance which images have been selected.

2. Seeing what is selecting when the list is long

In this example, there are only 3 referenced documents that can be selected and it's easy to see which one is. It becomes a lot more difficult once the list is a few pages deep. As there isn't an overview of selected documents anywhere, you're left paginating through to find previous selections.

Potential concept

For 1, and perhaps for 2, I wondered if it was possible to be able to toggle between all and selected.

Some clear ideas on this front. Will post a sketch or two later today.

Summary of the discussion:

• Toggle causes some issues when working in conjunction with filters and makes the view mixed purpose.
• Working concept is to introduce a sidebar as soon as documents are selected, showing a list of all selected documents.
